Uprising (2001)

Description

Homemade bombs rain from rooftops onto the street. Rifle fire erupts from windows. Jewish men and women of Warsaw, Poland are fighting back against their oppressors. History's largest campaign of armed Jewish reesistance to Nazi tyranny during World War II is in its full fury. Directed in brisk, semidocumentary style by Jon Avnet, Uprising is a remarkable story remarkably told, a poignant and powerful saga of undaunted heroism. Leelee Sobieski, Hank Azaria, David Schwimmer, John Voight, Donald Sutherland, Cary Elwes, Stephen Moyer and others star in this fact-based tale that stirs the emotions and touches the heart.
