An all-star cast lights up the screen in this riveting epic hailed as "a vivid drama-
tization of one of history's titanic turning points." (Gene Shalit, TODAY)
The year is 1942 and the Nazis are cutting a deadly swath through Russin.
Under the leadership of Kruschev (Bob Hoskins), the citizens of Stalingrad are mounting
a brave resistance, spurred by the exploits of their local hero, Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law).
An expert sniper, Vassili's deeds have become legendary-thanks to pro-
paganda produced by Vassili's best friend, a political officer named Danilov [Joseph
Fiennes). To stop Vassili, the Germans dispatch their best sniper, Major Konig (Ed Harris), to Stalingrad.
When Vassili and Danilov both fall in love with a beautiful
soldier (Rachel Weisz), Danilov deserts his friend, leaving Vassili to face his
German counterpart alone.
As the city burns, Vassili and Konig begin a cunning
game of cat and mouse, waging a private war for courage, honor and country.
