Aleksander Ford's legendary adaptation of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s renowned novel was selected by Martin Scorsese as one of the 21 best films in the history of Polish cinema. Set in the early 1400s, this epic is both a spectacular war film and historical romance depicting the events leading up to the bloody Battle of Grunwald.
One of the most successful and popular Polish films ever, Knights of the Teutonic Order combines the spectacle of Hollywood productions against an intricate background of Shakesperean artfulness and personal, political and military conflict.
