The Man Who Doesn't Return (Russian: Невозвращенец, romanized: Nevozvrashchenets) is a 1991 Soviet thriller film directed by Sergey Snezhkin.[1][2][3] This fictional film's plot features a planned coup against the Soviet government. By coincidence, this made the film very topical because it aired on television on August 20, 1991, during a real coup attempt in the Soviet Union, one that lead to the Soviet Union's demise later that year.[4]
Plot
A television reporter finds out about an upcoming coup and begins an investigation.[5]
