Commandant of the Bird Island (Russian: Комендант Птичьего острова) is a 1939 Soviet drama film directed by Vasili Pronin.[1][2][3]
Plot
[edit]The border patrol boat Smely intercepts a schooner off the coast of Kamchatka. Onboard, posing as fishermen, are Japanese spies. The vessel is taken in tow, and sailor Kositsyn is left aboard to keep watch. A violent storm breaks out, and the spies cut the towlines. The schooner crashes onto coastal rocks, stranding everyone on a deserted islet. Now Kositsyn faces an almost impossible task: alone, without sleep, food, or water, he must guard seven Japanese spies and prevent their escape. With no hope of rescue, he nevertheless fulfills his duty as a Soviet border guard.[4]
