O filme narra o ato heroico de 28 soldados soviéticos que se sacrificaram em novembro de 1941 perto da vila de Dubosekovo. Segundo a história, os militares do famoso exército vermelho, liderados pelo Major General Ivan Panfilov enfrentaram bravamente as forças armadas de Hitler e mesmo, morrendo em batalha, conseguiram destruir 18 tanques alemães.
The story is set during the World War II. Seven prisoners manage to escape from the penitentiary and hide in a small village forsaken of God and men. Soon after they respire, they face a new hardship - a German subversive group appears near the village. And as the fate decree, the former 'enemies' of the Motherland turn into its fierce defenders. War mutilates lives of millions of people, but sometimes it is the war that makes even the most thorough scoundrel in the world to remember that he is also a MAN.
