Details

Set in 1967 at the height of the Cold War, The Altitude Brothers is based on the true story of Vladimir Komarov, the first man to go to space twice. The launch of Soyuz 1, untested and behind schedule is a final effort to stay in the running. Two friends, thousands of miles apart must grapple with a flawed machine in order to snatch the promise of glory from the jaws of disaster. A true story of humble beginnings and lofty ambitions, of pioneers and flyboys, all underscored with a live soundtrack and vodka by the bottle: a Russian perspective on the race to the Moon.
