Series about pilots domestic and foreign

Series about the war, about the pilots of the Great Patriotic War are in great demand among the audience. They allow you to partially know the history, customs and life of people of a certain era. In addition, the profession of the pilot is surrounded by a halo of romance and provokes an unusual interest, even if it is a simple pilot of a passenger flight. What Russian series about the pilots are considered the best? And what are their main advantages?

Military serials about Russian pilots: "Fighters"

In April 2013, Alexei Muradov shot a 12-episode military film "Fighters", which was then shown on the TV channel "Russia-1". If we list modern serials about military pilots, then the "Fighters" is perhaps the best project to date: a fascinating story, a cocktail of military and love passions, a good cast of actors, a historical entourage.

The film describes the life of one flying regiment, which is near the front line. The officers of the regiment conduct aerial reconnaissance, and also cover Soviet troops from the air, bombing the enemy.

However, dangerous military tasks - this is only part of what is interesting to watch in the film. Inside the staff of the regiment, real Shakespearian passions are raging. Pilots and pilots fall in love with each other, jealous, compete. Sometimes someone dies or is captured, and then returns and is forced to prove to his comrades that he is not a traitor.

The main roles in the film were performed by Dmitry Dyuzhev (Ilya Bestuzhev), Ekaterina Vilkova (Lidia Litovchenko), Maria Andreeva (Evgenia Dementieva).

The series about the pilots: "Night Swallows"

In one year with the "Fighter" was shown and another television novelty - the action movie "Night Swallows" directed by Mikhail Kabanov.

The Russian series about the pilots "Night Swallows" tells about the real air-force formation that existed during the Great Patriotic War. In 1941 Stalin "gave good" to the creation of women's flying regiments. One of the first such regiments was the 46th Guards, which is referred to in the film.

The main characters of the series fly on night bombers and actively take part in hostilities. Women were in the air more enterprising than men, so the Nazis gave the Soviet pilots the nickname "night witches."

Of course, the plot of the film was not limited to dry historical facts alone. Each heroine has its own destiny and its own history. Many of them lost loved ones, friends, loved ones.

Tatiana Arntgolts ("Marriage in the Will"), Denis Nikiforov ("Fight with the Shadow"), Elizaveta Nilova ("Gentlemen Comrades") and Yevgeny Ganelin ("The Scream of the Owl") took part in the filming of the project.

"Desander"

In 2009, serials about the pilots were replenished with such television work as "Desantura." The project was overseen by Channel One. The film was directed by Oleg Bazilov ("Narrow Bridge").

The plot of the film echoes the real historical events. The action takes place at a time when only the USSR collapsed. In the former Soviet republics, riots broke out. To establish order in Chechnya, Abkhazia and Tajikistan, airborne landing troops were actively involved. The main characters - combat pilots and paratroopers - had to leave their families and risk their lives in hot spots to stop military action.

The main roles in the project went to Yegor Beeroev ("Turkish Gambit"), Kirill Pletnev ("Saboteur") and Anna Snatkina ("Tatyanin Day").

"Pilot of international airlines"

TV series about the Russian pilots are numbered in dozens. Not all of them are connected with military actions.

For example, in 2011, the television channel "Russia-1" demonstrated the adventure picture of Armen Harutyunyan "Pilot of International Airlines". Speech in it is about civil aviation pilots who, during flights, face different emergency situations.

During one of the flights, the main characters (the commander of the crew Stepanov and his assistant Metchnikov) fall into a very complicated situation: suddenly the engine of the aircraft caught fire, and in the salon at that moment the pregnant woman also began the fights. The partners brilliantly perform an emergency landing and save all the passengers, but for the fact that they did not act according to the instructions, they are suspended from flights for an indefinite period of time.

Unexpected leave gives Mechnikov the opportunity to pursue his favorite business - the search for ancient treasures, and Stepanov to return to investigating the death of his wife. All these circumstances reduce partners at one point - in a small town of Cherno-Lecca, where the local mafia is in charge.

The main roles in the adventure film "Pilot of International Airlines" were played by A. Domogarov and K. Safonov.

"Aerobatics"

"Aerobatics" - a picture of 2009, which refers both to the category "series about the pilots", and to the category "films about stewardesses."

In the center of the plot of the multi-series tape is the life of the crew of a passenger airplane consisting of four people. Every day Igor Volokhov, Sergey Vasiliev, Natalia Stebentsova and Maria Volokhova face difficult situations both in the sky and on the ground.

One of the main story lines is the competition between two flight attendants for the love and attention of the second pilot Sergei. The presence of love passions animates the screen action and makes the film memorable.

In the multi-series "Aerobatics", Olga Lomonosova ("Do not Be Born Beautiful"), Boris Scherbakov ("The Plague"), Sergei Karyakin ("The Other Side of the Moon") and Maria Gorban ("How I Become a Russian") played the main roles.

"Ballad of the Bomber"

The series about the pilots who fought in the air during the Great Patriotic War, are shot much less often than similar pictures about infantrymen and other ground troops.

Therefore, 8-series film by Vitaly Vorobyov "The Ballad of the Bomber" deserves special attention: it is not an easy picture of a brave combat pilot, but a narrative based on real events.

For the protagonist Andrew Grivtsov prototype served as Nikolai Bogdanov - a real pilot, commander of the 12th Gatchina regiment. The events in the picture are such that Grivtsov, together with two crew members, is shot down in the sky over the territory of the enemy during the execution of the task. The crew members are divided: someone is trying to break through to their own, and someone to complete the combat mission.

The main roles in the project went to Nikita Efremova, Ekaterina Astakhova and Alexander Davydov.

Foreign TV series about the pilots

TV series about the pilots Russian directors shoot more readily than the Western figures of the cinema art. Mostly in Europe and the United States on the screens are full-length fighters about the pilots, but not serial films.

However, in 2014, producer-innovator Vic Armstrong presented his fantasy drama "Left Behind" to viewers. The protagonist of the whole action is the pilot of passenger flights, who is faced with an inexplicable phenomenon: during flights from the cabin of the plane people disappear without a trace. Rayford Steel tries to figure everything out, even if it costs him his life.

The work of Vic Armstrong was highly appreciated by film critics.
