What happens
Trial on the Road (Russian: Проверка на дорогах, romanized: Proverka na dorogakh) is a 1986 Soviet war film, directed by Aleksei German, starring Rolan Bykov, Anatoly Solonitsyn, and Vladimir Zamansky. It is also known as Checkpoint or Check up on the Road. Shot in 1971, Trial on the Road was denied release in the Soviet Union for 15 years after its production due to its controversial depiction of the Soviet partisans. The film is based on a short story by the director's father, Yuri German, titled Operation "Happy New Year!". The screenplay was written by Eduard Volodarsky. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
