The Black Stones 1956

Directed by Aga-Rza Kuliyev

Based on the novel of the same name of Mehdi Huseyn. Engineer-geologist Imanov assembles a young team to explore presumed oil reserves beneath the Black Rocks despite his superior Halilov’s bans. When the ministry greenlights offshore drilling, Halilov’s sabotage and political attacks only strengthen Imanov and his colleagues’ resolve to prove the field’s potential.
