Incident at Map Grid 36-80 (Russian: Случай в квадрате 36-80, translit. Sluchay v kvadrate 36-80) is a 1982 Soviet military action movie by Mikhail Tumanishvili. Total number of Soviet audience estimated 33 million 100 thousand.
According to Tony Shaw, Professor of Contemporary History at University of Kansas, the film serves as a Soviet counterpart to Rambo: First Blood Part II. According to Robert D. English, the positive depiction of the Soviets in contrast to the Americans is an example of the methods used to shape cultural perceptions during the late Cold War.
