The article studies the examples of Kazakh mythology lending the archetypes of a victorious giant and the Motherland to the film Batyrs of the Steppe [Batyry stepey], directed by G. Roshal at Alma-Ata’s Central United Film Studio. The plot centres on T. Tokhtarov’s real-life heroic deed that took place in February of 1942, whereas the parallel fairytale plotline tells the story of the batyr Tolygai, who sacrifices himself to save the people.
