In September 1941, as Leningrad endures the brutal siege, Soviet artillery crews realize they are about to fire their final round, after which the city’s defense could collapse. Based on true events, the story follows a daring small unit that slips behind enemy lines to deliver a critical cache of gunpowder, giving the defenders a chance to continue fighting.
