Abduction of the Wizard (Russian: Похищение чародея, romanized: Pokhischeniye charodeya) is a 1989 Soviet science fiction film directed by Viktor Kobzev and based on the novel of the same name by Kir Bulychev.

The young graduate student Anna comes to her native village to her grandmother's house which she has not visited in 12 years.

Historian Kin and physicist Jules are searching for unrecognized geniuses whose life ended before their time.

Their goal is to send such geniuses to the future, without changing the course of history (that is, to evacuate them at the time they are supposed to die).

Here they have an intermediate stop and they need to go further, in the 13th century, to find there a certain boyar Roman, who lived at that time in these parts, and take him with them to the future.
