This spectacular epic is based on the final part of Polish cult historic trilogy by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It takes place in the second half of the 17th century and deals with the war against the Turks and Tartars. The hero, Michał Wołodyjowski, called "Poland's best sabre", is a knight willing to put his life on stake to defend his country. (Summer Film School)
