Territory (Russian: Территория, translit. Territoriya) is a 2015 Russian adventure film directed by Aleksandr Melnik, a screen version of the same novel by Oleg Kuvaev. The film, like the book, is based on real events and narrates about the discovery of a grandiose gold deposit in the Far North-East of the USSR.[2][3]

The novel was previously adapted in the Soviet Union in 1978 by Aleksander Surin. The picture starred Donatas Banionis as Ilya Chinkov.

Plot

1960 year. The Far North-East of the Soviet Union. Geographical reference: City Magadan and Village Pevek. After the war, the country needs gold, but the Territory continues to give only tin. Territory management is closed. Chief engineer, the legendary Ilya Chinkov is convinced that there is gold in the Territory. He challenges the fate and for one field season it is taken to find it. Using absolute authority, Chinkov organizes searches for gold in the Territory, despite the absence of direct instructions from the leadership and the sad fate of his predecessor, whose career was destroyed due to the fact that no gold was found in the Territory.
