Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus (Russian: Утомлённые солнцем 2: Предстояние, translit. Utomlyonnye solntsem 2: Predstoyanie, also known as Burnt by the Sun 2: Prestanding or just Burnt by the Sun 2) is a 2010 Russian drama film directed, written, produced by and starring Nikita Mikhalkov, released on 22 April 2010. It is the sequel to Mikhalkov's 1994 film Burnt by the Sun, set in the Eastern Front of World War II. Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus had the largest production budget ever seen in Russian cinema ($40 mln), but it turned out to be Russia's biggest box office flop, and received negative reviews from critics both in Russia and abroad.
