At Home Among Strangers, Stranger at Home (Svoy sredi chuzhikh, chuzhoy sredi svoikh) is a 1974 Soviet "eastern" action movie by Nikita Mikhalkov.

The story takes place in early 1920s, shortly after the end of Russian civil war. Egor Shilov (Yuri Bogatyryov) is sent to protect a precious shipment of gold that is sent by train. But he is kidnapped and drugged, the train is attacked and the gold is stolen. Shilov is suspected of treason and has to prove his innocence and return the gold. Shilov is now "stranger at home", and in performing his task he has to become "at home among strangers".

The following weapons are seen in the movie At Home Among Strangers, Stranger at Home (Svoy sredi chuzhikh, chuzhoy sredi svoikh):
