Okay. I have been thinking about this one for like a year now. But I want to have some public input before I start writing. Suggestions and constructive critisism encouraged.
Russia- 1990's
A unit of Russian solidiers sent to a brutal conflict over land,is killed except for two recruits who survive but barely in an ambush while they are trying to retrieve the bodies of formerly captured Russians for return to Russia.
Two of the sodiers survive but severly wounded. Alex, a young recruit who signed up to escape the poor economic situation in Russia, and didn't know what exacltly he signed up for, and another draftee (Let's call him Vlad for now, a really generic cliche Russian name for a film), who is a heavy drug user and usually brutal towards civilians.
The two are seized in the ambush and held by rebel forces. After Vlad is killed in a ransom demand, Alex realizes that he made many mistakes and regrets ever signing up.
After seeing that he will never escape in his condition, he begins to have discussions with his captors and they often engage in political debates.
But one day a miscalculated Russian offensive destroys the house where he is being held, and he is killed in the bombing.
This is followed by both sides denying his capture, and him being left among rotting bodies in the Russian snow.
- I got this from studying about the current wars in Russia and seeing how both sides seem to be pretty brutal, and try to convey this in the film.
What do you people think?
Suggestions and comments please.

I didn't mean to post this twice but delete this one because there is already a post titled how does this sound.
Leave the other one though.
