Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber play two brothers who form a Jewish resistance movement against the Germans after their parents are eliminated during the German invasion of Belarus. As word gets around about their existence in the forest they've known all their lives, other Jewish families arrive to join the fight. Despite overwhelming odds, their group carries the fight forward during cold winters with little food and the most primitive shelter. 4 of 5 stars.

This is the kind of movie that can be seen more than once and truly be enjoyed, entertained, and enlightened. The real hero is their faith in one another and their will to survive in the face of insurmountable odds. “By wars end 1200 had survived. Zus Bielski immigrated to New York City where he started a small trucking business. Tuvia and Lilka followed and remained married for the rest of their lives. The children and grandchildren now number in the tens of thousands.” This courageous film tells the story of the Bosnian Jews’ struggle to remain alive, and their flight into the safety of the forest during WW II is exceptionally well-viewed on Blu-ray format. It is very easy for the viewer to immerice themselves into the saga and appreciate the Jew’s trials and tribulations just to stay alive and survive the unrelenting force of the German occupiers penchant for their extermination. Make no mistake about, this moving-picture is an inspiring chronicle – it is in every respect remarkable, and it is both well-told and worth remembering.

True World War II story. Great acting and a great screenplay.

This isn't a entertainment movie but one for the viewer to feel and see the hardship and trials that the Jewish people had to go through in life to survive. It is really good and brings out just a bit of what these poor individuals went through because to show fully of what really happen is way too much for a person to take in. If a person enjoys history, then this movie is worth watching.

THIS IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF JEWISH SURVIVAL WHILE HIDING OUT IN THE FOREST. THE GROUP BECOMES A FORMIDABLE PROBLEM FOR THE GERMANS AS THEY BLOW THINGS UP, AND TAKE OUT THE TROOPS. THEY ALL CREATE A LITTLE TOWN IN THE WOODS THAT THEY ALL HAVE TO SURVIVE IN. THIS WAS VERY UPLIFTING TO SEE HOW MANY SURVIVED.
