1942년 늦은 봄, 제2차 세계대전이 극에 치달을 무렵 전선과는 다소 멀리 떨어진 한적한 곳에 있는 소련 여군 대공포부대 지역에 독일군 무장친위대가 소련의 주요 보급로인 키로프 철로와 백해-발트 운하를 폭파하기 위해 침투를 시작한다. 바스코프 상사는 총조차 제대로 쏴본 적 없는 5명의 여자 대공포부대원을 데리고 나치의 계획을 저지하기 위해 나선다. 하지만 2명으로만 알았던 독일군의 숫자가 16명인 것으로 드러나면서 바스코프와 여자 부대원들은 당혹감을 감추지 못하는데...
Terror from within by Yury Felshtinsky and Alexander Litvinenko, representing them as parts of the plan masterminded and sponsored by exiled tycoon Pokrovsky (obvious hint at Boris Berezovsky in real life) and aimed to discredit Russian security services. As this plan has failed, Pokrovsky assisted by some terrorists organizes a hostage taking in a Moscow circus (very similar to Moscow theater hostage crisis in real life) in order to return to Russia, acting as a saver of the hostages during negotiations. However, he fails to do so. The movie also depicts the Pankisi Gorge in Georgia as a place where an important Islamic militant hides, which was a common allegation by Russian authorities in real life around that time, and depicts destruction of a base of terrorists and allies of Pokrovsky in Qatar which might hint at the assassination of Zelimkhan Yandarbiev. Overall, the movie was widely considered propaganda.
