Stalker (film)

"Stalker" is a 1979 Soviet science fiction film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It follows a mysterious guide, or "stalker," who leads two men—a writer and a professor—into a restricted area known as the Zone. The Zone is said to contain a room that grants the deepest desires of those who enter it. Through its philosophical themes and slow-paced storytelling, "Stalker" explores concepts of hope, despair, and the human condition, inviting viewers to reflect on their own desires and the nature of reality. Its haunting visuals and meditative style have made it a classic of world cinema.
