The story is based on the historical events of Gongor, a national hero who successfully performed his duty as a border guard. The fact that he played the hero Gongor himself in the main role helped to convince the audience of the fact that it became a movie. The fact that Sh. Gongor is fighting alone and winning against the enemies who violated the border has a tone that preserves the traditional characteristics of the Mongolian folk epic hero.
