Denis Sazonov, a former driver of the KAMAZ-master racing team, wants to return to his native team after a 12-year break and collapse on all fronts of life. But it turns out to be difficult: once, having become the youngest world champion in the history of rally raids, he was fired from KAMAZ-master for violating team ethics. Denis wants to regain his sense of self-respect and involvement in the "big deal" and win the rally raid again. But no one is waiting for him in the team. Eremin, the deputy director of the team, does not want to give him a chance, because he believes that Denis violated the team rules. Sazonov gets a job as a cleaner in the team, going all the way "to the wheel" from the very beginning. But even here an unpleasant surprise awaits him: he meets his ex-wife Zhenya, who plans to take the place of navigator and become the first female pilot in the men's team.
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.
