Andrei Tarkovsky's prize-winning debut feature is an extraordinarily moving and powerful story or war and revenge.

Determined to avange his family's death at the hands of the Nazis, 12 year old Ivan joins a Russian regiment as a scout, where he becomes indispensable for his ability to slip unnoticed through enemy lines. But, as his missions become increasingly dangerous, it is decided that he must be removed from the front line. Ivan resists and convinces his commanding officers to allow him to carry out one last expedition.
