The gates of the Zone in Lasnamäe
Tarkovsky's Stalker was loosely based on the Strugatsky brothers' novel Roadside Picnic. Most of its locations were found in and around Tallinn. The shot of the gates to the Zone was filmed in Lasnamäe, next to Punane Street, behind the place where the Idakeskus shopping centre now stands. Other shots inside the Zone were filmed in Maardu, next to the Iru Power Plant. More scenes were taken near the Tallinn to Narva highway bridge over the Pirita river. The film's central journey was shot at two deserted hydropower plants on the Jägala river, and the pause before the Zone near the Rotermann salt storage. Only a small set for the scene outside the bar was built in Moscow, near a thermal power plant.

Eesti keeles
Tarkovski "Stalker" põhines vabalt vendade Strugatskite romaanil "Väljasõit rohelisse". Suurema osa võttepaikadest leidis võttegrupp Tallinnast ja selle ümbrusest. Kaader Tsooni väravatega filmiti Lasnamäel Punase tänava ääres, seal, kus praegu asub Idakeskus. Teised Tsooni kaadrid võeti üles Maardus Iru elektrijaama kõrval. Veel filmiti Tallinna-Narva maantee silla juures üle Pirita jõe. Filmi kesksed teekonnastseenid võeti üles kahes mahajäetud hüdroelektrijaamas Jägala jõel ja peatus enne Tsooni Rotermanni soolalao lähedal. Moskvasse ehitati soojuselektrijaama lähedale vaid väike dekoratsioon baarist väljumise stseeni jaoks.
