摘要：1917年，两个曾经主宰欧洲和亚洲大部分地区的帝国在深渊的边缘徘徊，在第一次世界大战中付出的血与财的毁灭代价使它们疲惫不堪。随着帝俄和哈布斯堡统治的奥匈帝国开始屈服，一小群滞留在西伯利亚的捷克和斯洛伐克战斗老兵看到了实现他们长期以来的独立梦想的机会。虽然他们的计划大胆而复杂，并涉及到通过陆路和海路将他们5万多人的军队运送到地球四分之三的地方，但他们在西线为盟军作战的承诺吸引了盟军伦敦、巴黎和华盛顿的注意。在他们穿越西伯利亚的旅程中，在一个偏远的西伯利亚铁路站爆发了一场争吵，引发了一场大规模的叛乱。掠夺性的捷克斯洛伐克军团夺取了西伯利亚铁路的控制权，并随之夺取了西伯利亚。最后，这支由战俘和逃兵组成的小队伍，其力量被托洛茨基视为对苏维埃统治的主要威胁，帮助摧毁了奥匈帝国并建立了捷克斯洛伐克。
