Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fyodor Bondarchuk is Russian cinema royalty — his father Sergei directed War and Peace (1966). Nepo baby does slapstick ghost, somehow works.
This was part of Russia's post-Soviet pivot to mainstream family blockbusters, directly competing with Hollywood imports. The aircraft obsession? Very on-brand for a nation that built MiGs.
