Plot

Set during the early stages of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, the movie follows a small group of Soviet partisans trying to evade a ruthless Nazi death squad. As the Nazis pursue them through the snowy wilderness, they encounter tales of a phantom-like Soviet soldier who seems to be fighting a one-man war against the invaders. Dubbed the “Red Ghost,” he strikes fear into the hearts of the Nazis with his guerilla tactics and almost supernatural combat abilities.
