"Furious" Topic

"The story starts in the XIII Century. Russia is fragmented and is about to fall on its knees in front of Batu Khan of the Golden Horde. Incinerating the city of Ryazan and bathing Russian land with blood, the invaders do not meet serious resistance, and only one warrior challenges them. Young Knight Yevpaty Kolovrat gathered 1700 people from his soldiers and the survivors of the siege, and went after Batu Khan with a sole purpose of avenging the carnage. Kolovrat's forces suddenly attacked the rear guard of Batu Khan's army and annihilated it in a fierce battle. Perplexed, Batu Khan sent a much larger force led by his relative Khostovrul. Khostovrul promised to capture Kolovrat alive, and for this purpose challenged Kolovrat for a duel. A man of extraordinary strength, Kolovrat split his opponent in half with his sword, and proceeded to kill the surrounding Mongols, splitting many of them down to the saddle. The remaining Khostovrul's soldiers retreated and killed Kolovrat from a distance using stone launchers. In a sign of respect to Kolovrat's bravery, Batu Khan returned his body to his soldiers and let them return home his name will forever remain in the memory of the people. He was warrior who has become a legend. His was the feat that has lived on for centuries. FURIOUS is not just a story about the war against Mongols and Tatars but about a man's faithfulness and love for his birthplace"

Looks like "300" meets Alexander Nevsky…except that Prokofiev's score was better. It looks as though it has a lot of action.

Agree! (smile)
