A tough and successful businessman Bolat Gazizovich wins a major construction tender, which does not bring joy to his competitors - real bandits who want to force him to give up the victory. On the advice of his friend, Bolat goes on a trip to another city, and his daughter's unfortunate fiancé, whom he drove out the day before, turns out to be his companion. Misha, that's the name of the groom - an ordinary district police officer who dreams of a real job with shootings and arrests of seasoned criminals. And now - the road, one car for two, two fellow travelers who do not like each other and bandits chasing them. It would seem, what can be expected from such a trip? Skirmishes, chases, fights or silence and boredom all the way?
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
