Yesterday evening, Katherine and I watched The Beast (1988), which I own on DVD. I searched for this movie for decades before finally finding it recently. (I happened upon it while watching cable television, probably while on a job interview.) The movie is about the Russian excursion into Afghanistan during the late 1970s and 1980s. A Russian tank gets lost and is pursued by tribesmen. I enjoy the movie not so much because of the fighting, but because of the moral issues it raises. It stars George Dzundza, Jason Patric, Steven Bauer, and Stephen Baldwin.
Here is the trailer.
