Fire, Water, and Trumpets (Russian: Огонь, вода и… медные трубы, Ogon', voda i... mednye truby) is a 1968 Soviet fantasy film directed by Aleksandr Rou.

There exists a Russian idiom, "to go through fire, water, and trumpets" (пройти огонь, воду и медные трубы), meaning approximately "to go to hell and back"; in other words, to persevere in the face of extreme adversity.

The two instantly fall in love, but their happiness is shattered when werewolves, acting as henchmen of the wicked Koshchei the Immortal, kidnap Alyonushka.

Next, he journeys through "water" in the underwater kingdom of a melancholic sea king who tries to distract Vasya with his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Finally, Vasya faces "trumpets," a metaphor for the temptation of fame and glory, as the sea king attempts to dazzle him with a hero's welcome.
