# Olympus Inferno (2009)

2009 · 85 min · Drama, Action, War · Russia

Original title: Олимпиус инферно

## Synopsis

Olympus Inferno is a 2008 Russian propaganda film about the Russo-Georgian War. It follows an entomologist searching for a fictional species of moth native to the region, known by the eponymous Latin name of "olympus inferno". It was the first feature film on the subject of the 2008 war to be released, with characters speaking a mix of Russian, English, and Georgian. The film was released half a year after the conflict. The name of the film belongs to an invented species of butterfly, the "Olympus Inferno," which in the film is sought in South Ossetia by an American entomologist and a Russian journalist. The name "Olympus Inferno" was coined by director Igor Voloshin.
