The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin (ru|Гиперболоид инженера Гарина, translit. Giperboloid inzhenera Garina) also abbreviated as Engineer Garin is a black-and-white 1965 Soviet science fiction film based on Aleksey Tolstoy's novel of the same name.[2] [3]
In 1925, Russian engineer Pyotr Garin develops a weapon of unprecedented destructive power using the discoveries of Professor Mantsev—the hyperboloid, a generator of an intense heat ray. Garin devises a plan to use the hyperboloid to achieve his ultimate ambition: to become the ruler of the world. However, his invention attracts the attention of both Soviet intelligence agencies and foreign capitalists, sparking a relentless pursuit of Garin and his deadly creation.
