However, in the next few days, Soviet snipers were shot again and again, and the other side only used one bullet. The real opponent is coming!
Enemy at the Gates is adapted from a true story. In real life, Vassili killed more than 400 people in World War II and was a famous sniper hero in the former Soviet Union.

This war film produced by 1972 has won many awards such as the Venice International Film Festival Memorial Award, the All-Soviet Film Festival Award, and the 1975 Lenin Award.
