Sergei M. Eisenstein directs this silent drama centred on the naval mutiny and street riots at the seaport of Odessa that sparked the 1905 Russian Revolution. When the crew of the Battleship Potemkin protest after being given rotten meat as rations, the captain responds by ordering the execution of the dissidents. Outrage at this injustice quickly ignites and the townspeople surround the harbour in a mass demonstration. However, when the authorities move to quell the uprising, brutality and tragedy ensue.
