We Are from the Future
Short description
Four Russian men earn a living by excavating Nazi relics and military equipment from Second World War battlefields to sell to collectors. While searching for artifacts, they encounter strange occurrences and are eventually transported through a wormhole in a lake back to 1942. Now stranded in the middle of intense combat within the USSR, the group must fight to survive a conflict they previously viewed only as a source of profit.
Directed by Andrey Malyukov, this Russian action and science fiction film stars Danila Kozlovsky, Andrey Terentyev, Vladimir Yaglych, and Dmitriy Volkostrelov as the four treasure hunters, with Ekaterina Klimova and Boris Galkin in supporting roles. The production was handled by A-1 Kino Video.
Financed with a budget of 5 million USD, the movie earned 8 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception is moderately positive, with a rating of 6.6/10 based on 4,300 votes on IMDb and a score of 6/10 from 124 votes on TMDB.
What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, Ekaterina Klimova was six months pregnant, and all her stunts were performed by a Canadian double.
- For the filming of the movie, the Rossiya channel invited the renowned Canadian stunt and visual effects coordinator John Attard, known for his work on the films 'Gladiator' (2000), 'Black Hawk Down' (2001), and 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' (2001).
- The film contains an allusion: the scene in which Danila Kozlovsky's character is brought before a German officer strongly resembles a scene from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel 'The Fate of a Man'.
- A significant portion of the military equipment used in the film is prop-based (which is clearly evident in the case of the tanks). The authentic equipment did not participate in the 'battles' and served only as background; after filming, it was moved to the set of Nikita Mikhalkov's film 'Burnt by the Sun 2: Citadel' (2010).
