Under Martial Law (original title Po zakonam voyennogo vremeni) is a 1983 Soviet war drama directed by Igor Slabnevich. The story takes place in Autumn 1941. Four Red Army soldiers are late for a train that goes to the frontline. As they may be taken for deserters and punished "under martial law" (that's the source of the title of the movie), they try to catch up the train as soon as possible. But during their way they encounter a group of German commandos and prevent them to destroy a railway bridge by the cost of their lives.
