- Synopsis:
During the summer of 1944, as occupied Warsaw continues to suffer heavy losses, word is received that the ruthless Red Army is advancing on the city, determined to obliterate the Nazis. In response, the Home Army gathers its last troops to launch an underground revolution and distract the Nazis from the incoming invasion. As the battle begins, a young soldier, Stefan, and his rebel brothers-in-arms sacrifice everything to defend their city, and country, in the ultimate battle for survival. As casualties fill the streets of Warsaw, hope that the Red Army will arrive in time is fading fast. With the subsequent days determining whether Poland can recapture it's liberty, the group must demonstrate great courage. Inspired by true events, 'Warsaw 1944' portrays the most unlikely of heroes in an incredible tale of fear, hope and persistence. - Actors:

Workmanlike Depiction of the Battle for Warsaw 1944 - Warsaw 1944 review by PV
This film is watchable in parts and educational too to learn about the awful siege which killed 200,000 and left Warsow with only 1000 inhabitants., The whoel place was rubble at the end of WWII; now 2 million live there.
The film tells the story through a young male character and that often works though the flights of fantasy sometimes jarr for me - I dislike magic realism and fantasy films in general.
Some shocking violence depicted but this history must be known. Especially now, with more cities besieged again in 2022.
3 stars.
