What Is The Star About?

The premise of The Star without spoilers.

In the summer of 1944, Nazi forces assemble a massive tank division called ‘Viking’ for an offensive into occupied Russian territory. The Soviet army dispatches an elite unit of seven snipers, codenamed “Zvezda,” to conduct deep reconnaissance behind the Viking formation. After two earlier Soviet teams vanished without a trace, the seven know they face near‑certain death, but press on for the chance of victory.
