In an undetermined country where desolation reigns, the Zone is a mysterious and dangerous region, where only the Stalkers, smugglers, dare to venture. One of them tries to take a writer and a scientist inside this Zone, to a room where their dearest desires can be fulfilled... After Solaris, Andreï Tarkovski returns to science fiction to illustrate a world that no longer has faith in anything. He signs a timeless masterpiece with inexhaustible potential.
«It’s difficult to choose among Tarkovski’s films, but Stalker is certainly on my list. Its unique approach to the problem of faith is very dear to me. Neither the writer nor the scientist can afford faith. Only the child (in them?) seems to be capable of believing.»
― Tania Hermida«Three men in a stolen trolley set off on a top secret excursion into a forbidden zone abandoned by humans, as if Tarkovsky had seen Chernobyl coming. For me the most mysterious and exciting film of the film mystic. And every time I see it again, I come a little bit closer to his secret.»
