Cyborgs: Heroes Never Die (Template:Lang-uk) (Kiborgy: Heroyi ne vmyrayut) is a 2017 Ukrainian war drama film about the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport during the war in Donbas.
Production and release
Half of the film's US$1.8 million budget was financed by the Ukrainian government, and significant help was provided by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence and the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The first official teaser trailer for the movie was released on 15 August 2017.
It was released on 7 December 2017 which was symbolically planned for the third anniversary of the fall of the old Donetsk airport terminal.
Parts of the movie were shot in the closed Chernihiv Shestovytsia Airport.
Plot
The film depicts the wartime lives of five Ukrainian brothers in arms fighting for control of Donetsk International Airport. The five men represent various social strata, professions, and beliefs for which they are willing to kill and prepared to die.
Cast
Makar Tikhomirov as Mazhor
Andrey Isaenko as Subota
Roman Yasinovskiy as Gid
Oleksandr Piskunov as Mars
Mariia Zanyborshch as Natalka
Yuriy Khvostenko as Borshch
Reactions
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty commented on the movie: While clearly meant to drum up support for the war effort, Cyborgs isn't entirely propagandistic, containing more nuanced scenes than one might expect, and Russian is spoken nearly as much as Ukrainian throughout the film.
Box office
The movie secured the top spot at the (Ukrainian) Box Office (earning US$302,000) in its opening week.
