December 30, 1941. Vyazma ('Vyazemsky cauldron') is a small detachment of Soviet soldiers, by fatal coincidence, in an unequal battle with a special unit of the Wehrmacht. However, none of them think about giving up. Each of them was ready to sacrifice his life in order to protect his native land. None of these brave people was born a hero. The myth of the red ghost is a heroic deed without a soldier's Soviet soldier in the Great Patriotic War who instilled in the animals, deadly fear of German soldiers. In place of one of the dead hero was inserted another, and the born myth of the invincible Soviet soldier. The film 'Red Ghost' is about the hope that each soldier will have.
The estate of young Count Mikhail Razumovskiy is mercilessly plundered by French foragers. And the young man is saved from death by the Ghost, a lone partisan returning home and protecting civilians from marauders along the way. Dreaming of revenge, Mikhail sets off with the Ghost. He will have to learn the difference between heroism and duty from his own experience, become the Ghost's student, and then independently end his fight, preventing a French counterattack and saving many lives on both sides.
