Movies that feel likeSalyut-7 (2017)

USSR, June 1985. After contact with the Salyut 7 space station is lost, cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh dock with the empty, frozen craft, and bring her back to life. Based on actual events.

If you loved Salyut-7, the closest films we have are The Wandering Earth II (2023), The Spacewalker (2017) and Trekkies (1997). All three share Salyut-7's awe feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Star Trek Beyond (2016).

March 1965. In the heat of the Cold War, the USA and the USSR are competing for supremacy in space. What both superpowers aim for in this race, is to be the first to have a man walk in outer space.

Two men in a tiny spaceship, without proper testing, facing the complete unknown. They were supposed to do what no man has done before—and no man imagined what would happen next.
