Synopsis:
In the Russian middle ages a prince leads an improvised army against the Teutonic knights and defeats them in a battle on a frozen lake.

A fantastically prescient piece of Soviet propaganda, given its timing, this technically creaky classic has some sequences in the director's best tub-thumping style and a superb Prokofieff score.
