In the hungry 1920s, the young Soviet Republic's government searches for gold all over the country, to buy it for bread abroad. And now, the collected valuables disappeared from the armored and well guarded train car on there way to Moscow. Shilov learns that the valuables have been stolen by bandits. To restore his good reputation, Shilov has to infiltrate the band. To find out where the stolen gold is kept, he must be at home among the strangers. A debut of the world famous director Nikita Mikhalkov, this film is an excellent model of a "western," having a very ingenious plot, and, most importantly, being a hymn to men's true friendship.
