One of the most gory battles takes place in Stalingrad during World War II. The Germans were supreme and the Russians almost had no chance. Despite the fact that the Russians knew about this, man and power were sent into the battlefield. Anyone who refused or thought of retreating was executed. The Russians needed faith, self-confidence, bravery and courage. And so it happens that Vassili Zaytsev (Jude Law) is bombed into folk hero by press chief Danilov (Joseph Fiennes). He is a handsome, young marksman who shows strength and has a good dose of shooting skills. So much so that it drives the Germans to despair, because one officer after another is killed by Vassili. The Germans then send top gunner Herr König (Ed Harris) to end the reversal of the battle around Stalingrad. This is followed by a sly, blood-curdling and emotional battle between two snipers. One young and naive, the other very hard and chilly.
