A turning point in 20th century war history is the focus of this fact-based account of the 1942-1943 battle of Stalingrad, in which the Germans were finally defeated by Russian influence -- one of the bloodiest battles in World War II history. The film stars Jude Law as Vassili, a marksman from the Urals who is transported to Stalingrad in 1942, and a master German sniper, Major Koenig (Ed Harris). Koenig, an expert German sniper, is determined to eliminate his formidable opponent by any means necessary; meanwhile, Vassili has joined forces with Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a young Russian political adversary, who is impressed by Vassili's skills and raises his profile in the Soviet Union. Both Vassili and Danilov become involved with Tanya (Rachel Weisz), whose Jewish parents have been captured by the Germans and have forced her to take up with the men on a sniper expedition. Koenig and Vassili begin to develop traps for each other, until fate inevitably must bring the two sharpshooters together. This large-scale production, financed mostly by Teuton companies, also features Bob Hoskins as Nikita Krushchev and Ron Perlman as an aging Russian sniper.~Jason Clark

I’ve seen bits online and the cinematography is amazing! Am gonna be honest and I have to say I haven’t seen it entirely yet, but some of the battles sure are great. If you love war films I really recommend this one

This a very brutal and compelling film. And not very many high production films on the battle for Stalingrad WW2 can measure up. It's hard to believe this film has been out for almost 20 years now but it will hold up to time. If your a bit of a WW2 history nut, this film is a must see.

This movie is totally underrated. Heck, even the TRAILER (included as a special feature) is better than most movies. High stakes. simple premise. Great music. Ok yeah it's a little funny the accents thing (British and American all of which playing Germans and Russians) but whatever.

$6 for this gem of a movie? I only wish it was on 4K. This movie was quite a roller coaster. It came out when I was only 7 years old and I saw it now that I’m 25. Oh they knew how to make movies back then without so much special effect. Such a good movie.
