Cyborgs: Heroes Never Die is a 2017 Ukrainian war drama film about the Cyborgs, the Ukrainian defenders in the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport during the war in Donbas. The film was written by Nataliya Vorozhbyt, directed by Akhtem Seitablayev and produced by Ivanna Diadiura.

Production

The project was launched on 19 October 2014, when fighting at the airport was escalating. Director Akhtem Seitablayev encountered a great deal of doubt about the project from those who questioned the making of the movie while the conflict was ongoing, feeling that it was "too soon". However, he also received letters of encouragement from soldiers and their families.

Seitablayev stated that the film is about the "choice between the Soviet past and the European future" and that the film's creators sought to display the determination of the characters and convey the passion behind their reasons for fighting for Ukraine. The film was made primarily for a domestic audience, but also to bring awareness to the story internationally. The script was structured to be understandable to a Western audience.

The film was produced by Ivanna Diadiura. Half of the film's 47,000,000 Ukrainian hryvnia (US$1.8 million) budget was financed by the Ukrainian State Film Agency (Derzhkino), with additional financing by Idas Film, telecom company Kyivstar, and the Georgian company TUTA.

Two-thirds of the movie were shot in Kyiv Oblast. Parts of the movie were shot in the closed Chernihiv Shestovytsia Airport and the Gonchariv military training ground. Veterans of the battle were present each day of shooting for consultation. About four hours of high-quality material was filmed. Seitablayev's director's cut was 140 minutes. He appealed to his mentor, Andrii Donchyk, who edited the film to 120 minutes.
