Return from Orbit (Russian: Возвращение с орбиты, romanized: Vozvraschenie s orbiti) is a Soviet 1984 science fiction film directed by Aleksandr Surin.

[4] The film depicts an accident on an orbital station where a meteor storm results in a life-threatening injury for the mission commander which requires an emergency return to Earth.

An experienced team is sent to evacuate the crew and repair the station, but faces another serious incident which puts their own lives in grave danger.

The air is quickly draining from the cabin, so the cosmonauts seal their suits and activate reserve oxygen supply, which will only last for 12 hours.

Kuznetsov exits to the spacecraft's exterior and stop the rotation with a makeshift rocket engine that Mukhin assembled from spare parts.

The film includes scenes shot on the Soviet space station Salyut 7 and the spacecraft Soyuz T-9 by cosmonauts Vladimir Lyakhov and Aleksandr Aleksandrov.
