Taming of the Fire is a 1972 film, directed by Daniil Khrabrovitsky and starring Kirill Lavrov. The film dramatizes the Soviet viewpoint of the Space Race, and features actual footage of the powerful, three-stage rockets built to launch the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space on Vostok 1.

Production

Mosfilm studio was the main production company. Additional production assistance was provided by the Soviet Army and Gagarin Space Center in Moscow, by Baykonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and by OKB 1 and OKB 3 missile industries in central Russia and in Ukraine.

All actors and crew had to pass background checks to get clearance for filming at Cosmodrome Baykonur and Gagarin Space Center in 1970 and 1971.

Footage of Baykonur Kosmodrome in Kazakhstan and of the Soviet Space Center in Moscow add authenticity to the film, but most of the footage have not been released to the public. The original director's cut had 5500 meters of film, but when shown to Brezhnev and the Politbureau it was censored before the public release in 1972; the film was reduced to 4553m and ran 166 minutes. Currently available copies run 158 minutes.
