February 17, 2006
Director(s): Timur Bekmambetov
Set in contemporary Moscow, "Night Watch" ("Nochnoi dozor") revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.
As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "Others" of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect. But there is constant fear that an ancient prophecy will come true: that a powerful "Other" will rise up, be tempted by one of the sides, and tip the balance plunging the world into a renewed war between the dark and light, the results of which would be catastrophic.
"Night Watch" ("Nochnoi dozor") is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled "Night Watch", "Day Watch" and "Dusk Watch". The film is the official Russian contender for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2005 Academy Awards.
