“The weapon that would change the world”
Kalashnikov AK-47 (2020) reimagines the birth of the iconic rifle through the lens of Russian military history, focusing on the life of Mikhail Kalashnikov, a tank commander injured in 1941. Incapacitated and hospitalized, Kalashnikov channels his wartime trauma into invention, sketching the blueprints for the AK-47. The film, shot in occupied Crimea, captures the ingenuity of a self-taught engineer who, at 29, crafts a weapon that would define modern warfare.
