An English dub of the film titled Escape from Afghanistan was released on home video in 2002.

An American reporter and doctor (British and French in the original version) comes to a military base in Pakistan to document the P.O.W.

In May 1985, British journalist Charlie Palmer (Barry Kushner) and his friend, French doctor Victor Dubois (Victor Verzhbitsky), travel by jeep to a Mujahideen camp near Peshawar to interview Soviet soldiers held as prisoners.

Some soldiers refuse to answer, while others speak of napalm and chemical weapons, leaving it unclear whether the exhausted prisoners are telling the truth or exaggerating in hopes of attracting Western interest.

They manage to reach a radio and broadcast a call for help, but Soviet authorities suspect it could be a provocation.
