In 1944, during the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, Polish Lieutenant Zadra and his resistance fighters use Warsaw's sewer system to escape the German encirclement.
Brilliantly staged and photographed, this tough and intense war drama compels with its director's sure hand in delivering his message, which is quite dark, nearly nihilistic.
Halliwell*: "A suffocatingly unpleasant film to watch; its message and technical excellence are undoubted."
Maltin***: "Intense, almost unrelentingly graphic account..."
