October 1941. Thousands of fascists troops are advancing on Kalinin to capture the city and therefore open a direct route to Moscow. There are two thousand people able to defend the city and they are without tanks or artillery. The only hope of holding the enemy off is in the fifth infantry division convoy, who are about to pass through Kalinin station. But saboteurs intend to do everything to keep this from happening. The head of the Kalinin garrison, Major Sysoyev, struggles to keep order and calm in the city, and himself falls under suspicion of involvement with the subversive enemy group.
Very weak film. A few good actors pull out some scenes, but that doesn't change the big picture. Female roles were especially bad. A lot of blunders and nonsense, for example, during a fight almost knee-deep snow. Does snow fall in early October? The Germans tried to blow up the bridge several times. How will they cross the river themselves?

How will they cross the river themselves? The Germans would have thought about it, but the writer and director probably wouldn’t.

And in the end, the defenders came out of the trenches and with guns / pistols ran to the tanks "Hurrah!" To the Motherland!
