This film describes a space rescue mission in the Soviet era, but the target of the rescue is not "people", but "aviation technology". In the era of Soviet-American competition in outer space, in order to prevent the United States from obtaining Soviet aviation technology by salvaging a malfunctioning Soviet aircraft, the government sent a two-person team to complete a seemingly impossible mission in low-Earth orbit.
As far as the plot is concerned, the whole film does not have much to describe, because it is only general in terms of aviation technology (after all, it is still in the Soviet era) and the explosive level of the picture. I think the film wants to express more or to praise the human side.
The male protagonist is a "wizard" among astronauts. He is technically impeccable, but because he saw an "angel" during a mission, he was considered unsuitable for re-entering space until no one in the Soviet Union could correct the fault except him. After the aerial docking of the spacecraft, he re-entered the universe with another technical teammate who was "underappreciated". This "death squad" can almost be regarded as "reuse of abandoned sons" - there is no way. At the end of the story, it is still facing the test of human nature: only one person can return to the earth alive, or two people can finally challenge the life that is almost impossible to exist in the first line.
At the end of the film, the angel reappears, it is a ray of light that people who have not seen will never believe it, only the bravest, best, and most selfless can see it - so life goes on, and we finally realize: The important task of cosmic exploration may only be entrusted to these "people who can see angels", because they are the most reliable, brave, and most qualified to discover the ultimate mystery of infinite time and space.
