Near
a grey and unnamed city is The Zone, an alien place guarded by barbed wire
and soldiers.
Over his wife's strenuous objections, a man rises in the dead of night: he's
a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and who risk imprisonment)
to lead people into The Zone to The Room, a place where one's secret hopes
come true.
That night, he takes two people into The Zone: a popular writer who is burned
out, cynical, and questioning his genius; and, a quiet scientist more concerned
about his knapsack than the journey.
In the deserted Zone, the approach to The Room must be indirect. As they draw
near, the rules seem to change and the stalker faces a crisis.
Stalker
is one of the best Russian sci-fi movies ever made.
