In October, 1941, the German troops are heading to Moscow and the soviets do not have any troop nearby to protect their capital. Colonel Strelbitsky (Evgeniy Dyatlov), who is the head of the Podolsk Artillery School, is ordered to use his 3,500 cadets to defend the last stand to Moscow until the last man while the Russian troops return to assume the protection. The cadets have few provisions, ammunition and weapons, but they bravely defend their motherland.
"Podolskiye kursanty" (2020), a.k.a. "The Last Frontier", is a great Russian war movie based on true events. The story is presented with romance and dramatization, but it is sad to see the effects of war in a young generation that should be studying and dating, but are sent to death instead. It is beautiful to see the patriotism of the youths, and the beauty of the actresses. The Russian actors are also handsome men, and the number of extras is also impressive. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "A Última Linha de Defesa" ("The Last Defense Line")
