The Journey of the Worthy Ones (1979)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

From Tashkent to Bukhara go on excursion in the holidays of the pioneers, selected from the best, but for two pioneers Shahir and Vitka this trip is primarily an opportunity to find the treasures of the last Emir of Bukhara, who hid them when the troops of the Red Army approached the city, and the Emir realized that he could not hold Bukhara. In Bukhara our friends are already waiting for their accomplices, the same pioneers Anvar and Gulka, who have a map of the alleged place of the hidden treasures. Upon arriving in Bukhara, the four treasure hunters begin their search for the treasure, finding themselves in funny and absurd situations.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
