We consider expansion, break off, and flight of 10 nm molybdenum film deposited onto glass support. These events are initiated by action of subpicosecond laser pulse onto film. Approximations for two-temperature equation of state and electron--ion coupling parameter are developed. Heat conduction is unimportant because film is ultrathin and because radius of a laser beam is rather large $\sim 10$ $\mu$m (thus lateral thermal spreading is insignificant at the considered time scale). We use two-temperature one-dimensional hydrodynamic code to follow evolution of laser induced flow. Additional code for treating transmission and reflection of a monochromatic electromagnetic wave is developed. It is applied to describe interference between transmitted and reflected waves in the layered structure appearing thanks to laser induced expansion and separation of a film.
