Abdullajon or Abdulladzhan, ili posvyashchaetsya Stivenu Spilbergu (transliteration of the Russian title of the film meaning "Abdullajon or Dedicated to Steven Spielberg") is a 1991 Uzbek science fiction comedy film directed by Zulfiqor Musoqov.[1] Abdullajon is the first Uzbek science fiction film and is considered by many critics, filmmakers, and fans to be the greatest Uzbek film made in post-Soviet Uzbekistan.[2]
The film contains references to science fiction films of Steven Spielberg.[3] The story is told in the first person by a security guard as a letter to Spielberg in broken, but humorous Russian. Most of the characters in the film speak in Uzbek.
