Plot

Across different regions of Earth, 'black traces' are detected where unexplained atmospheric anomalies and magnetic storms occur. An operational group discovers that these traces are linked to a cosmic catastrophe on the outskirts of the Solar System, which left only four survivors: Timur Kizimov, David Norton, Jean Laura, and Eduard Jong. On Oberon, a satellite of Uranus, a geological catastrophe caused a huge section of the surface to collapse into the planetoid's bowels, killing nine Space Marine spies from the 'Moon Rainbow' expedition.

The four survivors apparently fell under the influence of radiation from a strange greenish glow that appeared above the collapse. The story of the 'Black Wave' begins at the Pamir Mountains weather station 'Eagle Peak', where a blizzard causes all electronics to fail due to Kizimov's extraordinary abilities. The film focuses more on David Norton, nicknamed 'Moon Dev', who uses his super abilities to safely cross the 'Fire Snakes' plateau on Mercury, a feat where reconnaissance squads had previously perished.
