Solo Voyage (Russian title: Odinochnoye plavanye) is a 1985 military thriller directed by Mikhail Tumanishvili. It tells the story of a group of Soviet marines who are tasked with stopping a rogue American officer from launching nuclear missiles that would cause an international crisis. The film is notable for being the only Soviet movie to ever show the two superpowers fighting each other. While originally touted to foreign audiences as being the Soviet version of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the film is more slowly paced and slightly less cartoonish in its depiction of the enemy.

The following weapons are used in the film Solo Voyage (Odinochnoye plavanye):

Makarov PM

Soviet marine officers carry Makarov PM pistols. Major Shatokin (Mikhail Nozhkin) uses a Makarov when he lands on the island to search for the hidden American missile base, but drops it once he is surrounded by enemy soldiers.

Trivia

  • Although all the American characters are shown speaking English, all of the cast were either Russians, Latvians or Lithuanians.
  • The movie received some assistance from the Soviet Navy, which provided Kara-class cruiser (Soviet designation is Project 1134B Berkut B) and 2 Osa-class missile boats (Project 205) which represented U.S Navy ships, presumably Pegasus-class hydrofoils. In addition, stock footage of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was also used to depict American naval exercises in the Pacific.
