This film tells about how bravely soldiers of the Red Army fought during the defense of Stalingrad. Exhausted by incessant destruction and failures, ill-equipped troops dug themselves in the city with a firm intention not to give the enemy an inch of their native land. As a result of the large-scale battles, the course of World War II changed. It was after Stalingrad when it became clear that Hitler's Germany will suffer a crushing defeat.
