When soldiers on the battleship Potemkin are served rotten meat for dinner, they raise the red flag. The protest turns into a riot as the sailors try to iginte a revolution in Odessa, their home port. Based on historical events, this is a true classic from one of the great, early directors, Sergei Eisenstein, who also plays the role of the captain.
