They Fought for Their Motherland DVD | Movie Mail UK

Film Description

In July 1942, the exhausted Soviet army is retreating towards Stalingrad while desperately trying to hold their ground in front of the rampaging German war machine. Bondarchuk's film concentrates on the remnants of one shattered regiment and its individual soldiers' thoughts and fears in the face of impending annihilation - of both themselves and Russia itself. The depictions of war and destruction are powerful, as are those of the individual characters forced to participate in a terrible fight for survival.

A screen adaptation of Nobel Prize winning author Mikhail Sholokov's novel of the same name.
