All you need to know about this film is that Putin ordered it made because he was miffed at the British miniseries of "Chernobyl" because of its, let's say unfortunate portrayal of the Soviet state and its bureaucracy. In other words, it is pure propaganda, meant to uphold the heroic but sadly fake Soviet narrative about the whole incident and stroke the egos of Putin's Russian magats equivalent.
