Hard To Be A God (2013)

Overview

In the distant future, scientists from Earth travel to the planet Arkanar, where civilization has become trapped in a brutal, medieval-like stage of development. Forbidden from directly interfering with the planet's history, the Earth observers struggle to remain detached as violence, ignorance, and political oppression overwhelm the society. Don Rumata, one of the observers, increasingly finds it impossible to remain merely a spectator.
