Max Irons and Samantha Barks star in this historical drama co-written and directed by George Mendeluk.

Escaping from jail, Yuri joins an anti-Bolshevik resistance movement and vows to fight back against his country's oppressors and save Natalka and his fellow villagers from starvation. The cast also includes Terence Stamp, Tom Austen and Tamer Hassan.
