Smoke in the Forest (Russian: Дым в лесу) is a 1955 Soviet adventure film directed by Yuri Chulyukin and Yevgeny Karelov.^[2][3]

In a small border village, a daring group of enemy saboteurs is active. They have set the forest on fire and shot down a plane that was observing them. The fire threatens to spread to a large factory, and the local residents have gone to assist the firefighters.

Volodya Kurmakov, a neighbor's boy, persuaded Maria Sergeyevna, the wife of a missing pilot, to take him with her to the airfield. On the way back, during an emergency stop, Volodya went for a walk in the forest and got lost.

After wandering for a while, he came upon a clearing where he found a crashed plane. Nearby, there was a wounded pilot, who sent the boy to the border guards, explaining the area where the arsonists should be searched.
