'Outpost') is a 2019 Russian science fiction action thriller film directed by Egor Baranov and starring Pyotr Fyodorov.

[4][5][6][7] It had its world premiere at the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival on 15 March 2019 and was released in the Russian Federation on 21 November 2019.

The film is about an event that suddenly plunges the entire world into darkness, rapidly destroying life on Earth except for a small area in Eastern Europe.

It is reported that an unidentified enemy is approaching, creatures larger than humans moving at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.

Suddenly the entire world, except for the area around Moscow, and parts of Belarus, Ukraine and Finland is plunged into darkness.

Communications are down throughout the rest of the world, and only a small number of people have survived in the area that becomes known as the Circle of Life.

After being informed that creatures bigger than humans are emerging from the forest at 20 km/h, they begin to fire, while discovering that the enemy is in fact a massive herd of brown bears.

In Moscow it is revealed some survivors from the edge of the Quarantine zone now have “abilities”; one of these people, Sasha, appears to have a psychic connection to the unknown attackers.

He arrived on Earth another two hundred thousand years ago, which means that according to his calculations, the ship with their army will be here tomorrow.

The problem is that he does not know where Ra is hiding, which controls the minds of ordinary people outside the “circle of life” but the only one who knows where to find him is Sasha.

However, Eid with Zhenya and the rest of the soldiers, led by Mary, remain alive, as they had left the base to find Ra.

At this time, Yura joins the satellite-9 group of the outpost and in the middle of the night finds a young boy in one of the apartments.

A whole crowd of people then begins to attack the group under the control of Ra and only Yura and Olya remain alive.

After Ra's death, Eid sends out a telepathic pulse that kills all the remaining drones, making them instantly collapse.

When it remains to destroy the last tube, it turns out that it delivers oxygen to the capsules with the aliens' children, and they decide not to break it.
