Pirates of the XXth Century (Piraty XX veka)
Piraty XX veka (Pirates of the XXth Century) is a 1979 Soviet film directed by Boris Durov dealing with modern piracy. A Soviet cargo ship carrying a load of medicinal opium is attacked by a group of vicious pirates, who sink the ship and leave its crew for dead. The surviving crew members decide to take revenge by attacking the pirates, who have hidden their ship at a small Pacific island. This film was the highest grossing Soviet movie of 1980.

Colt M1911A1
Colt M1911A1 pistols are carried by a few of the pirates who seize control of the Soviet cargo ship. Chief mate Sergej Sergejitsch (Nikolai Yeryomenko) also uses a M1911A1 when he attacks the pirate ship in the finale.
Walther P38
A chrome plated Walther P38 is carried by Captain Illysch (Pyotr Velyaminov), who uses it when he and his crew seize the pirate ship in order to force talks between the two sides.
Sten Mk II
Sten Mk II submachine guns are carried by the Indian police officers who escort the cargo of opium during the introduction of the movie, and later by many of the pirates who board the ship to steal its cargo.
Thompson M1928A1
Several of the pirates, including Salech (Talgat Nigmatulin) are armed with M1928A1 Thompson submachine guns when they capture the Soviet ship. The weapons appear in different configurations, with different handguards and buttstocks.
Sturmgewehr 44 (modified to resemble M16)
One of the most common weapons used by both the pirates and later the Soviet crew members are Sturmgewehr 44 automatic rifles, visually modified with the addition of a carrying handle and shorter magazines to resemble the M16 rifle (at least from a distance).
MG34
Three of the pirates are armed with MG34 machine guns, with which they use to shoot several members of the crew when they attack the cargo ship.
