Seven Brave Men (Russian: Семеро смелых) is a 1936 Soviet action drama film directed by Sergey Gerasimov.
[5] The film is inspired by historical events surrounding the Soviet exploration of the Franz Josef Land archipelago in the Arctic.
The story draws from the real establishment of the USSR's first permanent polar station, Tikhaya Bay, on Hooker Island in 1929.
The film dramatizes these events, adapting them to align with the Komsomol's ideals and placing them in a slightly later timeline.
Despite some creative liberties, the film reflects the spirit of Soviet polar exploration and the bravery of its participants.
