During the war in Afghanistan a Soviet tank crew commanded by a tyrannical officer find themselves lost and in a struggle against a band of Mujahadeen guerrillas in the mountains.
A villager is slowly run over by the tank, feet first. (The tank driver is extremely reluctant but is forced to.) A character is tied to a rock and booby-trapped with a grenade under his head, but escapes. Another character is stoned to death, off screen.
