The Challenge (2023 movie)

The Challenge (Russian: Вызов, romanized: Vyzov) or Doctor's House Call is a 2023 Russian space docudrama movie by Klim Shipenko. The movie is the first time a professional actor has been filmed in space by a professional director, as other films before were filmed and acted in by astronauts/cosmonauts/space tourists (space tourists that were amateur both in film-making and as astronauts) or used footage from automated equipment. Apogee of Fear was written by a professional scriptwriter, and with some graphics assets done by a professional, but had no other filming professionals involved.[2][3][4] and was theatrically released in Russia on 12 April 2023 by Central Partnership.
