THE BATTLE OF NERETVA
THE BATTLE OF NERETVA
SYNOPSIS

The Troma Team is produ to present Academy Award winners Yul Brynner (The King and I) and Orson Welles (Citizen Kane) in the Oscar-nominated epic The Battle of Neretva. War has never been so desperate, so brutal and so beautiful as in this struggle of the raging forces of evil that threaten to tear the planet in two. A war classic that defies category, The Battle of Neretva is a bittersweet symphony of chaos and glory.

It is January of 1943, and World War II is in full effect. While the German forces are establishing the dark empire of Hitler's Third Reich by sweeping southern Europe, there is a secret war being fought in the Balkans by a group of fierce and brave Yugoslavian rebel freedom fighters. With little more than the clothes on their backs and the lust for sovereignty in the hearts, their only choice is to fight, whether it be for victory or for death.

Besides Schinder's List, there has never been a film which has struck at the heart of crisis and shown the true spirit of humanity the way The Battle of Neretva has.
