Den otroliga men sanna historien om tre bröder som under andra världskriget står upp mot den tyska ockupationsmakten. Året var 1941 och den tyska krigsmaskinen har ockuperat största delen av Europa. Judar mördas systematiskt och hoppet om en framtid i frihet försvinner långsamt. De tre judiska bröderna flyr in i skogen och börjar därifrån bekämpa de tyska trupperna. Snart sprider sig historien om deras hjältemod och allt fler människor ansluter sig till dem i ett desperat försök att överleva. Directed by Edward Zwick, Defiance (2008) is a World War II survival drama based on the true story of the Bielski brothers, who led a group of Jewish refugees hiding in the forests of Nazi-occupied Belarus. Starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber, the film follows the groups struggle to survive through resistance, resourcefulness and armed conflict against Nazi forces. Combining war action with survival themes and historical drama, the story focuses on leadership, community and resistance during the Holocaust.
