"At the time of its release, this lavish historical epic was the most expensive Polish film ever made. Based on a novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz (Quo Vadis?), this grand drama is set in 17th century Poland during the Cossack uprising against the Polish nobility. While the violent confrontation builds, there is also a battle for the heart of a beautiful girl between a dashing Pole and a brutish Ukrainian. This is the first novel in a trilogy of historical adventures by Henryk Sienkiewicz; the others (The Deluge and Colonel Wolodyjowski) have also been brought to the screen by director Jerzy Hoffman."--Container.
