Based upon the classic novel by Nikolai Gogol, 'Taras Bulba' is an epic tale of love, betrayal, honour and conflict. This unforgettable saga begins with story of Cossack warriors joining forces with the Polish army to rid the Ukraine of the invading Turkish. But once the battle is won the Cossacks only face treachery from their allies. Cossack leader Taras Bulba (Yul Brynner) swears revenge. Raising his son with the intent of using him as a spy, Taras sends his sibling, Andrei (Tony Curtis), into the midst of Polish society with the hope of taking them down from the inside.
