Unique footage from both sides and detailed computer graphics show how both armies were drawn into an horrific and titanic struggle.
Det tyske nederlaget ved Stalingrad var begynnelsen på slutten for Hitlers drøm om verdensherredømme. For første gang under andre verdenskrig ble en tysk feltmarskalk, Friedrich Paulus, tvunget til å gi opp med sin ødelagte hærstyrke. Den røde armé hadde, under sin brutale leder Vasilij Tjujkov, bitt seg fast for å bevise at de kunne beseire sin dødsfiende og at en endelig seier var mulig. Unike filmsekvenser fra begge sidene og detaljert datagrafikk viser hvordan de to svært slagkraftige armeene dras inn i et grusomt slag.
