Орел девятого легиона. I have found some Russian Tweets about The Eagle film which they call, like the book, The Eagle of the Ninth Legion! Thus for example this qualified welcome!
Орел девятого легиона – не совсем классический, но довольно интересный фильм про римскую империю. Честь, доблесть, судьба и все такое.
translated is
Eagle of the Ninth Legion – not quite a classic, but quite an interesting film about the Roman Empire. Honor, courage, destiny and all that.
