Synopsis
The New Adventures of the Elusive Avengers (1968) — watch online on iFILM — is the second chapter of Edmond Keosayan's beloved Soviet trilogy set during the Russian Civil War.
The year is 1920 and the Red Army is closing in on Crimea. The four young daredevils — Danka, Valerka, the gypsy Yashka, and Ksanka — shoot down an enemy plane and pull a secret dispatch from the pilot's bag: a report on the defensive fortifications around a coastal city. Command sends them in to steal the actual map. Their opponents this time include a menacing role by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and a sharp, icy beauty played by Svetlana Svetlichnaya, with Savely Kramarov providing deadpan comic relief.
It moves fast and keeps the boyhood-adventure spirit of the original firmly intact — exactly what Soviet audiences packed the cinemas for in the late 1960s. Stream The New Adventures of the Elusive Avengers (1968) online on iFILM.
