Knights of the Teutonic Order (Krzyżacy)
A film by Aleksander Ford

Poland, 1960

Aleksander Ford's legendary adaptation of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s renowned novel was selected by Martin Scorsese as one of the 21 best films in the history of Polish cinema.
Set in the early 1400s, this epic is both a spectacular war film and historical romance depicting the events leading up to the bloody Battle of Grunwald.

One of the most successful and popular Polish films ever, Knights of the Teutonic Order combines the spectacle of Hollywood productions against an intricate background of personal, political and military conflict.

“The first Polish historical blockbuster and the most viewed Polish movie of all time, featuring battles galore, political manoeuvring and doomed love”

Martin Scorsese, Masterpieces of Polish Cinema
