It's 1942 and the German and Russian armies are embroiled in one of the most momentous battles of WW2, the Battle of Stalingrad. Defeat at Stalingrad could hand Germany victory in Europe and Stalin has sent Kruschev (Bob Hoskins) to personally oversea the city's defence.
In another corner of the city Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a political officer, encounters Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law), a simple soldier from the Urals who possesses an extraordinary skill he is a first-class shot with an iron will. Danilov realises that Zaitsev could be moulded into exactly what Krushev needs in order to boost troop morale.
Zaitsev joins a sniper unit and his dangerous missions are chronicled and embellished upon by Danilov and before long a hero is born. But while Zaitsev's glory rejuvenates others, Danilov becomes jealous of the man he created when they both fall in love with Tania (Rachel Weisz), a courageous comrade fighting in the ranks alongside them.
Eager to break the Russians' new found resistance the Germans draft in Major Konig (Ed Harris), their own celebrated sniper. As the battle wages on these two lethal sharpshooters engage in their own personal deadly duel, stalking each other amongst the rubble of the symbolic city of Stalingrad.

Enemy At The Gate
Great film about a poignant part of WWII history. Very well filmed and acted - difficult to watch in places because it is so poignant. Bought this because had lent copy and not got it back and couldn't remember who had lent it too!
