Summary

It is 1942 and the Nazis are cutting a deadly swath through Russia. Under the leadership of Kruschev, the citizens of Stalingrad are mounting a brave resistance, spurred by the exploits of their local hero, Vassili Zaitsev. An expert sniper, Vassili's deeds have become legendary, thanks to propaganda produced by a political officer named Danilov. To stop Vassili, the Germans dispatch their best sniper, Major Konig, to Stalingrad. While Vassili and Danilov's friendship is strained when they both fall in love with the same soldier, the Germans surge back against the Russian resistance. As the city burns, Vassili and Konig begin a cunning game of cat and mouse, waging a private war of courage and honor. Based on a true story
