If two weeks is too long for you to wait for "Top Gun: Maverick" to fly into theaters, "Firebird" should satisfy your need for speed.

The movie, set in Soviet occupied Estonia in the late 1970s, is a labor of love from first time director Peeter Rebane and co-screenwriter, producer, and star, Tom Prior.
Based on a memoir by late Russian actor Sergey Fetisov, “Firebird” tells the story of a love triangle between Sergey (Prior), a young soldier doing his required national service before heading off to college; Luisa (Diana Pozharskaya), the beautiful and ambitious secretary to the base commander; and Roman, an ace fighter pilot.
The film is set in 1970s Soviet Union against the backdrop of the Cold War. Sergey (Prior), a young private, is weeks away from completing his Air Force conscription. He spends his days working together with Luisa (Diana Pozharskaya), an ambitious secretary to the base commander Colonel Kuznetsov (Nicholas Woodeson).
Luisa is secretly in love with Sergey. But when an ace fighter pilot, Roman (Ukrainian actor Oleg Zagorodnii) arrives at the base, both Sergey and Luisa find themselves drooling over him. Who will Roman choose?
Roman decides he wants a bite from both apples. He marries Luisa but carries on a torrid affair with Sergey.
Remember, this is set in 1970s Russia and homosexuality in the armed forces was hardly supported. This brings the drama.

Given that Pidor Putin is pretty danged gay I’m sure he’ll relate to the story.
Yep, from what is now known about the KGB we have a good idea what sort of services Putin provided to his superiors when he was a young man.
Wow, I can hardly wait to avoid this film.
LOL!!! THAT’S GREAT!
Wow I wonder if the director is any relation to Alfons Rebane, who was an Estonian anti-communist war hero in WW 2? He’d be turning over in his grave.......
