This is the moment a brave soldier rescues a kidnap victim being held at gun point by a crazed attacker.

But what he didn't realise was, in his haste to save the woman, he had accidentally walked straight onto a film set.

The Russian soldier seemed to be oblivious to the surrounding cameras and film crew as he tried to sneak up behind the 'attacker' and grab him from behind.
