Widely regarded as one of the most significant films in the history of silent cinema—and often considered Sergei Eisenstein's masterpiece—"Battleship Potemkin" introduced the director's revolutionary theories on cinema art to audiences worldwide. The film serves as a powerful showcase for Eisenstein's emphasis on montage editing, intellectual engagement, and the portrayal of the masses, rather than individuals, as the protagonists. The story centers on the mutiny aboard the Russian ship Prince Potemkin during the 1905 uprising, dramatizing the collective struggle of sailors against oppressive authority.
