A Spectacular Tale Of Conflict And Passion In A Savage Era!
Four centuries ago, in a barbaric age ruled by violence, vast armies clashed in desperate battles and fierce men struggled to regain their freedom. This is the world of Taras Bulba, a breathtaking epic that engulfs the screen with high adventure.
Set in the Ukraine of the 16th century, Taras Bulba stars Yul Brynner in one of his most colorful roles as a powerful Cossack chieftain determined to regain his land from treacherous Polish invaders. Despite bitter dissension in the ranks, he is soon leading his soldiers into savage warfare. But further conflict erupts when his headstrong son Andrei (Tony Curtis) falls deeply in love with a Polish girl. Spectacular battle scenes highlight the nonstop action, arriving at a shattering climax in which father and son must ultimately confront the rift between them.
With sharp direction by J. Lee Thompson and a strong supporting cast that includes Christine Kaufmann, Sam Wanamaker and George Macready, Taras Bulba recreates a long-vanished era with a splendor and excitement that enthralls from beginning to end.
