With the help of the Stormy Gate tape, the actors take us to a time when hostilities were unfolding in Chechnya. According to the plot of the picture, two young guys who have just entered the service fall into the very heat, in which not all will survive. Which of the famous actors played the main roles in this dramatic film and who worked on its production?
The creators of the series and a short plot
In the series “Stormy Gates”, the actors play on the screen a story similar to the real events that took place in 2000 at the 776th height in Chechnya.
According to the plot of the film, Colonel Galkin and his unit were entrusted with the defense of the strategic object - Wuthering Heights. To strengthen the available forces, a GRU special forces detachment under the command of Valery Egorov is also sent to the point. Egorov has “his” man among the militants, who warns the Russian army about the impending attack.
Colonel Galkin sends a company of Lieutenant Doronin to defend the pass. But there are much more opponents in numbers than Doronin’s employees. The soldiers still manage to defend the object assigned to them, but the whole team of Lieutenant Doronin dies with the exception of 23 people.
The film was shot by Andrei Malyukov based on the novel by Alexander Tamonikov. Andrey Malyukov is also the author of the films "We are from the Future", "Mosgaz" and "Match".

One of the central figures in the series is GRU special forces commander Valery Egorov. The actors in the film Storm Gate are quite famous people. So the role of Egorov was entrusted to one of the leading Russian actors - Mikhail Porechenkov.
Valery Egorov once served in the Airborne Forces and passed a good school. Now he commands a reconnaissance detachment of special forces. He is being sent to Chechnya, and at the time of the unfolding events, he is attached to the very company of Doronin, which will defend Wuthering Heights. Valery Egorov does his duty a bit fiercely, because he has his own scores with the militants: many years ago they killed his whole family.
Mikhail Porechenkov often plays in the movies of military personnel. The actor gained popularity in the early 2000s after he got the main role in the series "National Security Agent".
