Red Army has won a whole host of awards across the world for its revealing, funny and insightful look at the Red Army ice-hockey team through the eyes of its players. The film charts the rise and fall of this exceptionally gifted and successful team of the 1970s and 80s, possibly the most enduring franchise from Soviet times.
