About this product

Product Information

During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Koverchenko (Jason Patric), a young Russian soldier, is caught between his country and his conscience when his ruthless commander (George Dzundza) destroys a village. As the their tank lies trapped near the village, Koverchenko is labeled a traitor and left to die. After run-ins with wild dogs and rock-throwing Afgan women, he is rescued by an Afghan leader (Steven Bauer, TRAFFIC). The two unlikely allies then set out to destroy the Russian commander and his tank. Based on William Mastrosimone's stage play, THE BEAST is a haunting and unusual war film that has developed a fervent cult of admirers despite very limited theatrical play.

    The Beast

    Originally saw this movie in the theatres when it was released in the 1980's, and it has stood the test of time. Just as good today as when it was originally released. Highly recommended.

  • Top critical review

    Good movie about tank features/capabilities and eye opening cultural reaction pertaining to the Russing incursion in Afghanistan from a lost tank crew

    This was not at all the kind of tank movie I was expecting but it revealed a lot to me that was interesting in terms of landscape, tactics, and how paranoia can lead to dog eat dog.

  • Better than most newer movies

    Classic old school action. Childhood classic for me. I remember parts as a kid but as an adult I wanted to watch and understand the movie and it’s just as good as I remembered.

  • This movie makes you think!

    Great movie focused on a tank crew during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Really makes one think. Why do we believe the outcome of the American invasion of Afghanistan will be any different than what happened with the Russian invasion???
