They Fought for Their Motherland [Import]

In July of 1942, with German forces sweeping inland, a battered Soviet Army faced a retreat across the Don River in order to reach, and attempt to hold, Stalingrad...and a small, weary regiment drew the seemingly impossible charge of keeping the Panzers from the bridgehead till the crossing’s completion. Director/co-star Sergei Bondarchuk delivered a compelling take on Mikhail Sholokhov’s novel; Vasiliy Shukshin, Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Georgiy Burkov also star. AKA: "They Fought for Their Country." 137 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Russian; Subtitles: English. In Russian with English subtitles. Region Free
