The Man Who Doesn't Return (Russian: Невозвращенец) 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 while it filmed beforehand, it was released and aired on television on August 20 1991 during a real coup in the Soviet Union, one that lead to the Soviet Union's demise later that year.[4]
A television reporter finds out about the upcoming coup and begins an investigation.[5]
