Mutiny (Russian: Мятеж, romanized: Myatezh) is a 1928 Soviet war drama film directed by Semyon Tymoshenko based on the novel of the same name by Dmitry Furmanov.

[1][2] Set in 1920 during the Civil War in Central Asia, the film depicts the struggles of the Jarkent Battalion of the Red Army, stationed in Verny (modern-day Alma-Ata).

Exploiting war weariness and demagogically stirring anti-Soviet sentiment, the counter-revolutionaries provoke an open mutiny within the ranks.

In response, Dmitry Furmanov, acting as an envoy of the Revolutionary Military Council, arrives with a group of communists to address the situation.

At exactly 10 a.m., as per Frunze’s directive, the reorganized and battle-ready battalion departs to fulfill its mission against the Basmachi, restoring order and ensuring the continuation of the Red Army’s operations in the region.
