| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Based on an extraordinary true story, DEFIANCE is an epic
tale of family, honor, vengeance and salvation in World War
II. The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being
massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death,
three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods
they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate
battle against the Nazis. Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and
Jamie Bell star as brothers who turn a primitive struggle
to survive into something far more consequential – a
way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands
of others.
At first it is all they can do to stay alive. But gradually,
as whispers of their daring spreads, they begin to attract
others – men and women, young and old – willing
to risk everything for the sake of even a moment’s freedom.
Tuvia (CRAIG) is a reluctant leader and his decisions are
challenged by his brother, Zus (SCHREIBER) who worries that
Tuvia’s idealistic plans will doom them all. Asael (BELL)
is the youngest – caught between his brothers’
fierce rivalry. As a brutal winter descends, they work to
create a community, and to keep faith alive when all humanity
appeared to be lost.
