Short description
A solar eclipse activates a magic time portal, and a regular schoolboy Vit'ko from the 21st century goes a thousand years back in time. It doesn’t take Vitya long to recognize the legendary bogatyrs in young Oleshko, powerful Ilya and severe Dobrynya. Their life passes in fighting cumans who try to destroy Rusichi at any cost, using both weapons and black magic. Vitya finds himself in the very midst of incredible events, battles with mythical creatures and acquires real courage.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the work «Border Outpost» (2001) by Vladimir Rutkovsky.
- A fortress from the time of Kievan Rus' was specially built for the filming of the film.
- The costume team designed over one and a half hundred exclusive costumes, all of which were handmade. For example, the Shaman’s costume required approximately 450 meters of fabric, which was cut and braided into strands, with each strand dyed separately in different shades.
- Ilya Muromets wields two swords. One weighs 15 kg and is 1.5 meters long. The hero also wears a rare 13th-century buckle from a private collection of antiquities.
