Synopsis:

Russian sci-fi action film. In 2157, Maxim (Vasiliy Stepanov), a pilot on a misson in deep space, crash-lands on an unknown planet after colliding with an asteroid and losing his ship. Maxim finds the planet Saraksh to be similar to Earth some 100 years previous - being torn apart by social problems and devastating wars. He is appalled by the totalitarian dictatorship that governs the Fatherland and resolves to help the repressed population form a rebellion to overthrow the powerful regime, aided by native Rada (Yuliya Snigir) and her brother Guy (Pyotr Fyodorov). But Maxim's revolution proves more difficult when he discovers those in charge, known as the Unknown Fathers, have the technology to control their citizens' minds...

In 2157, people lives in peace and progress on Earth, respecting ecology and space travels are very common. The pilot Maksim Kammerer is hit by an asteroid and he crashes his spacecraft in the unknown planet Saraksh. Maksim gets stranded in the planet and is captured by a local and arrested. Maksim finds a planet in the stage of Earth in the 20th century, with war, social problems and destroyed ecology. He is sent to the capital escorted by Corporal Gai Gaal, but they are attacked and he escapes. Maksim protects the waiter Rada Gaal against a stalker and he learns that she is Gai's sister. Then Gai recommends Maksim to his Captain Chachu and the earthling joins the guard. However Maksim discover that this repressed society is ruled by an oligarchy called Unknown Fathers. Further there are anti-ballistic defense towers that the locals believe that are for their protection that are actually broadcast towers that are used to control the minds of those that are susceptible to the broadcast that are called degenerates. Maksim leaves the guard and joins the degenerates to destroy the towers. However, he is captures with Rada and Gai. Now he is plotting with other prisoners how to destroy the central transmission to the towers and leave the people have free will.
