This film tells the story of the Battle of Stalingrad, the turning point of the European Theatre of World War II, and what better way to do it than with plenty of explosions and in 3D.
A group of Soviet reconnaissance troops under command of Gromov are sent to prepare the way for a larger landing by Soviet troops from across Volga river in their sector of the city. The group occupies a building that also shelters some surviving civilians, and are soon fighting German troops attempting to take the building. Peter Kann, the officer commanding the German troops, falls in love with one of the Soviet women in the building, a young woman named Masha.
Directed by Fedor Bondarchuk and starring Thomas Kretschmann, Yanina Studilina, Philippe Reinhardt, Mariya Smolnikova, Katya Heiner Lauterbach and Pyotr Fyodorov, this is the first Russian movie completely produced with IMAX 3D technology.
Stalingrad is released in the UK in IMAX 3D, 3D and probably 2D as well, on February 21st.
