Enemy at the Gates

Jean-Jacques Annaud directed, co-wrote, and produced Enemy at the Gates, a 2001 war film based on William Craig's 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which covers the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942–43. Annaud and Alain Godard collaborated on the script. The main character in the film is a fictionalized version of sharpshooter Vasily Zaitsev, a Soviet Union Hero during WWII. It features a sniper duel between Zaitsev and Major Erwin König, the director of the Wehrmacht's sniper school.

It's not often that American viewers have a chance to observe World War II outside of the perspective of American or British soldiers and the battles they fought, but "Enemy at the Gates" gives them that opportunity. The film stars a strong main cast and concentrates primarily on a sniper's duel that many larger-scale World War II films would not be able to find time for. It tells the story of major Soviet snipers fighting in the Battle of Stalingrad against the Nazis.
