About The Immortal Garrison
In June of 1941, at the outset of the Nazi invasion of Russia, a group of Soviet servicemen languidly biding their time at the Brest fortress on the Polish border, are suddenly galvanized into action. All desires to return home to their wives and sweethearts are swept aside as the courageous garrison unites to thwart a common enemy.
Directed by Zakhar Agranenko, The Immortal Garrison leans on a strong ensemble — Vasiliy Makarov, Vladimir Yemelyanov, Nikolay Kryuchkov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1956.
