A great story told about the Conquest of former Constantinople, renamed to Istanbul after fallen into the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
The ever long lasting Eastern Roman Empire led by the courageous Emperor Constantin XI Dragasses fights to survive once more against a huge army led by the young, ambitious and master tactician Mehmet II, in a battle that inspired many writers and poets since then.
This movie isn't far from truth, as it seems well documented and also well displayed as both a documentary and an artistic movie.
As a history fan, I give a 10stars rating without hesitation to this title.
