兵临城下

斯大林格勒战役中，瓦西里（裘德•洛 Jude Law 饰）是一个威震部队的神枪手。他的好枪法百发百中，令敌人闻风丧胆。 　　为了激励士气，树立榜样，瓦西里的战友——苏军文宣部军官丹尼洛夫（约瑟夫•费因斯 Joseph Fiennes 饰）在报纸上大量刊登瓦西里的英雄事迹，令瓦西里的形象更为高大。然而，坦妮娅（雷切尔•薇姿 Rachel Weisz 饰）的出现，让瓦西里和丹尼洛夫都同时迷恋上了这个飒爽女兵。但塔妮娅喜欢的是瓦西里，这让丹尼洛夫大为妒忌。 　　另一方面，德军派出了他们的狙击手康尼（艾德•哈里斯 Ed Harris 饰），让同是神枪手的他抗衡瓦西里。在硝烟弥漫的战场上，瓦西里和康尼开始了斗智斗勇的决斗。In World War II, the fall of Stalingrad will mean the collapse of the whole country.
