  • "Begins on the 56th day of the Warsaw Uprising against the Nazis during World War II. A ragtag group of trained and untrained Resistance fighters hold on to the front line. They try to live a relatively normal life, and even find time to play the piano. They achieve small victories, but must retreat into the sewers in order to survive."
  • "Set in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, a detachment of the Home Army is forced into the sewers where conflict and tension arise from the claustrophobic atmosphere below and the physical pressures of the German persecutors above."
  • "This film is a skilful blending of suspense with social realism and poetical vision and, following its release, became instrumental in focusing world attention on the Warsaw uprising, the Polish experience and the arrival of a new national cinema. Awards: Winner of the Silver Palm in Cannes (1957) and Gold Medal at the Moscow Film Festival (1957)."
  • "The second of Wajda's unplanned war trilogy (with 'A Generation' and 'Ashes and Diamond'). A grim depiction of a defeated Poland is the central theme of this moving story of the tragic heroism of a platoon of the underground national army who were loyal to the government in exile of Poland based in London. Based on actual events, this powerful movie shows the Resistance fighters' descent into the sewers of Warsaw to escape the Nazis during the uprising in 1944; also shown as a psychological descent into the minds of a crushed people; and a times a slow descent into hell, reminiscent of Dante. The extreme situation of their journey through the 'kanal' brings out the true values of their characters: their generosity, pettiness, love, courage - and the price they must pay for their faith."
  • "In September 1944 a group of desperate Poles attempt to elude the advancing German army by escaping through Warsaw's underground sewers."
