'Prisoner of the Mountains' (R)

On a mission in the Caucasus mountains’ region of Dagestan, Russian soldiers are ambushed by Muslim rebels. After the gun battle, two Russians are left wounded -- a cocky, devil-may-care sergeant called Sacha and Vania, a sweet-natured recruit. Abdoul-Mourat, an imposing leader, intends to exchange them for his son, who’s in a Russian jail. But an initial prisoner exchange is foiled by treachery on the Russian side.
Ignoring the entreaties of his compatriots to kill the captives, Abdoul-Mourat orders Sacha and Vania to appeal to their mothers. Sacha’s letter gets no response, but Vania’s mother, a schoolteacher, attempts to save her son. -- Desson Howe
