Starring Nikolai Cherkasov
A Russian film with English sub-titles.
Made by the celebrated Russian director Sergei Eisenstein in 1938, this was his first big historical sound film.

The period is the thirteenth century.
After the defeat of her Swedish foes, Russia is again invaded by her traditional enemies, the Germans. The people call upon their hero, Prince Alexander Nevsky, to lead them. Nevsky inspires the people to make 1 great stand against the advancing foes; and a tremendous battle is fought upon the frozen waters of Lake Tchudskoe, in which, under Nevsky's leadership, the Russians rout their enemies and drive them from Russian soil.
