Two Long Hoots in the Fog

In a deserted tundra on the lake, a seaplane makes an emergency landing, on board of which bank collectors carry a large amount of money. A storm begins and the plane relates to the river delta. An unknown person steals money from an airplane and kills a geologist, an accidental witness. And a few days later the ship departs from the northern port for the last navigation voyage, where a recidivist hides among the motley company of passengers, and the captain begins his own investigation...

Directed by Valeriy Rodchenko, Two Long Hoots in the Fog leans on a strong ensemble — Mykola Hrynko, Aleksandr Porokhovshchikov, Elena Kapitsa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1981.
