The 1993 German war drama film Stalingrad directed by Joseph Vilsmaier follows a platoon of World War II German Army soldiers transferred to Russia, where they ultimately find themselves plunged into the infamous Battle of Stalingrad.

In the spring of 1942, German troops advanced deep into the Soviet Union en route to Stalingrad. Hitler seriously misjudged the tenacity of the Red Army and was convinced that the city could be conquered before winter. Ordinary foot soldiers, inadequately clothed and without sufficient food, struggled just to stay alive. Abandoned by their leaders, Nazi troops froze and starved to death in a conflict that left over one million dead. Stalingrad graphically depicts this turning point in WWII in which the average German soldier was as much a victim of Nazi evil as the Soviet people.

One of the most respected movies ever produced about the Stalingrad battle, »

IMAX and Russian producer Alexander Rodnyansky (Jayne Mansfield’S Car) today announced that the World War II 3D epic Stalingrad will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® 3D format and released in IMAX® theatres in Russia and the Cis in October 2013. This marks the first Russian-language film to be released in the IMAX format.

Directed by Fyodor Bondarchukand starring Pyotr Fedorov and Thomas Kretschmann, the movie recounts the Battle of Stalingrad, a turning point in the Second World War in which Soviet troops fought and eventually won control over the South Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), occupied by Nazi troops in February 1943. Stalingrad is produced by Non-Stop Production (subsidiary of Ar Films) and Art Pictures Studio.

As one of IMAX’s fastest-growing international markets, with 22 theatres currently open and 23 more in backlog, Russia and the Cis is home to some of IMAX’s highest-grossing theatres in the world. »
