While There is Time

While There Is Time (Poky ye chas, 1987) — a Soviet adventure film available to watch online on iFILM, directed by Borys Shylenko. Two Cossacks from Zaporizhzhya Sich are captured by the Turks. Getting out of captivity is hard enough. Getting home turns out to be harder.

The road back is long and hostile — unknown terrain, armed opposition, no safe passage. Les Serdyuk, Ivan Gavryliuk, Lembit Ulfsak and Ernst Romanov play men who are not fighting for flags or ideals but simply to reach the people waiting for them. A Ukrainian-rooted adventure with a multinational Soviet cast, built on the most durable premise in the genre: survival as a reason to keep moving. Watch While There Is Time (1987) on iFILM.
