This film about the process of technical discovery, insight, and the "theory of the internal explosion" of man is based on the real facts and events of 1988 in the USSR related to the implementation of the treaty with the Americans on the elimination of medium- and short-range missiles. And 1966 - related to the creation and demonstration launches of missiles in front of French President General De Gaulle. And the backbone of the plot was the story of the physicist and lyricist, the uncle of the author of the film, Anatoly Grigoryevich Istratov - the author of the technical monograph "The Theory of aluminum Gorenje". Without the key discovery described in the monograph, not a single solid-fuel rocket would have flown.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
