Safari №6 (Russian title: Сафари №6, Safari nomer shest) is a 1990 (released in 1991) Soviet action movie. In an unnamed country, there is a civil war. A graduate of the military school, Captain Ander, arrives in the military unit and almost immediately receives an appointment to the post of commander of a sabotage group. There is no doubt that a group under the command of an officer without the slightest combat experience is doomed to death. The only hope is with experienced Sergeant Gueuze, who from the very beginning of this strange raid suspected something was amiss...
