Originally broadcast in November 2001, this exceptional made-for-television film recalls Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan while forging its own distinct identity. It was the first American film to dramatize the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943, during which an underground collective of Polish Jews dared to defy the Nazis. Hank Azaria leads an all-star cast as resistance leader Mordecai Anielewicz, and the film follows his close-knit collaborators (including David Schwimmer and Leelee Sobieski) and their battle against the Nazi general (Jon Voight) assigned to clear all Jews from Warsaw. The uprising was eventually crushed (some heartbreaking outcomes are listed in the closing credits), but director Jon Avnet expertly maintains a sense of courage and hope amidst the palpable horror of the Warsaw Ghetto. Combining physical and historical accuracy with intimate character details, Uprising is suspenseful without being sensational, thus honoring one of the greatest symbolic victories in all of Jewish history. --Jeff Shannon

Good for a history lesson May 11, 2009
M. perry (Texas)
I visited Poland a few years ago and one of the first things I came across was a monument to those who died fighting the Nazis. This is a great movie for someone who would like to know more about the atrocities of the Holocaust and also those who do not understand the Jews as a people. I thought it was well done, informative and held my attention.

I love this film. It is inspiring to me to see people who were so beaten down and yet they still fought for the right to live.
Can't belive more Jew's did not fight back. February 9, 2009
R. Robertson
This is a true story or as true as can be told today. If you know nothing of how bad it was this will give you a glimpse into the world of those fun-loving Nazi's who spread death every where they went. That sounds like our last 8 years---- only we will take all your oil too!!!!!

The Bottom Line:
A long movie that doesn't feel long and a TV movie that doesn't feel like a TV movie, Uprising is really a fantastic piece of filmmaking with great performances all around and a number of scenes that have been etched indelibly on my brain--whether you usually like this type of movie or not, please watch Uprising.
