About Defiance

Based on an extraordinary true story, “Defiance” is an epic tale of family, honour, 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, 3 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 (The Painted Veil) and Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) 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. 

As a brutal winter descends, they work to create a community, and to keep faith alive when all humanity appeared to be lost.
