"The Battle of Neretva" is a war film released in 1969 and is based on true events that occurred during World War II. Here are some additional plot details:
The movie begins in January 1943, with the German army, led by General von Diekmann, starting a massive offensive against the Yugoslav Partisans located in Western Bosnia. Fearing that the Allies may invade the Balkans, the Germans aim to eliminate the Partisan resistance and gain control over the region.
The Partisan commander, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, played by Yul Brynner, realizes the impending danger and decides to evacuate his forces and a large number of refugees to a safer area. The only escape route available is the strategic bridge over the Neretva River.
Tito assigns a group of commanders to defend the bridge and delay the German advance, including Vlado Čaruga (played by Sergei Bondarchuk), Alija (played by Velimir 'Bata' Živojinović), and Nikola Kazarin (played by Boris Dvornik). The commanders work together with their troops, consisting of both seasoned fighters and inexperienced volunteers, to protect the bridge at all costs.
As the German forces continue their offensive, the Partisans face numerous challenges and obstacles. They are outnumbered, outgunned, and lack proper supplies. Additionally, they must deal with internal conflicts among their own ranks.
Eventually, the Partisans realize that they can no longer hold the bridge and decide to destroy it to prevent the Germans from crossing. A thrilling and intense battle ensues at the bridge, with Partisans fighting desperately against the highly skilled and well-equipped German troops.
Throughout the movie, various characters' stories unfold, depicting their personal struggles, sacrifices, bravery, and determination in the face of overwhelming odds. The film also showcases the resilience of the local population, who support the Partisans and contribute to the resistance effort.
"The Battle of Neretva" portrays the strength of the human spirit, the horrors of war, and the importance of unity and sacrifice in the face of adversity. It became one of the most expensive and extraordinary productions of Yugoslav cinema, involving international collaborations and featuring a star-studded cast that included Orson Welles, Franco Nero, and Anthony Dawson, among others.
