Front Beyond the Front Line (Front za liniey fronta) is a 1977 Soviet war movie directed by Igor Gostev. It is the second part of the trilogy, started by Front Without Flanks (Front bez flangov) (1975) and continued by Front in the Rear of the Enemy (Front v tylu vraga) (1981). In late 1943 - early 1944 the special unit under command of Major (later Colonel) Mlynsky (Vyacheslav Tikhonov) continues fighting behind German lines. One of the main tasks is now to get the plans of the German fortifications.
