Mutinous Orion

In February 1918, the Russian ship Orion is tasked with delivering weapons for two divisions but finds itself delayed in Plymouth due to the unfolding Russian Revolution. The British authorities redirect the ship to Arkhangelsk, but the crew makes a bold decision to sail secretly to Vladivostok instead. This choice sets off a series of dramatic encounters, including pursuits by British forces and a German submarine.

As the crew faces internal divisions, the Orion raises the red flag upon reaching Russia, only to discover that Vladivostok is under interventionist control. The film portrays the ship's struggle to return to sea and successfully deliver weapons to coastal partisans, highlighting themes of loyalty and resistance during a time of crisis. Collectors may find interest in this film due to its historical significance and representation of a lesser-known aspect of the Russian Revolution.
