Furious (also known as Legend of Kolovrat, 2017) is an epic historical action film directed Ivan Shurkhovetskiy. Set in the medieval period of Russia, the film combines myth, legend, and brutal combat to tell the story of one man’s fight against a massive Mongol invasion. Inspired by real events, Furious portrays the legendary Russian hero, Kolovrat, whose bravery and strength became symbolic of resistance and patriotism.

The film centers around Kolovrat (played by the talented Alexander Kuznetsov), a warrior who is caught in the violent wave of the Mongol invasion of Rus. The Mongols, led by Batu Khan, sweep through the land, laying waste to villages and cities. Kolovrat, determined to protect his homeland and his people, sets out on a personal mission of revenge after his village is destroyed, and his loved ones are killed. The film follows his quest to fight back against the invaders, demonstrating his extraordinary courage and unyielding spirit.

Furious is rooted in the legend of Kolovrat, a historical figure who, according to Russian lore, led a small group of warriors to engage the Mongols in a battle where they were vastly outnumbered. The film blends historical events with elements of folklore, presenting Kolovrat as a mythical figure with near-superhuman qualities. His valor and determination to fight against overwhelming odds form the heart of the movie.
