The Battle of Warsaw was one of the most important moments of the Polish-Bolshevik war, one of the most decisive event in the history of Poland, Europe and the entire world. However, excluding Poland, this fact is almost completely unknown to the citizens of European countries.

It was noticed already in 1931 by a British diplomat, Lord Edgar Vincent d’Abernon, a direct witness of the events who, in his book “The eighteenth decisive battle in the history of the world”, wrote: “The contemporary history of civilisation knows little events of more importance than the Battle of Warsaw in the year 1920. It also knows no other which was more overlooked.”

.Battle of Warsaw 1920" is Polands first ever 3D feature film, it was filmed using the Fusion Camera System and is one of the most expensive movies in the history of Polish cinema. The film tells the story of the 1920 clash between the newly reborn Poland and Soviet Russia. Known as the so-called "Miracle on the Vistula", the Battle of Warsaw, Polands defeat of the Red Army shortly after the regaining of national independence.

To better understand the origin and importance of the battle of Warsaw, one needs to first present a short summary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and, first and foremost, to describe the goals of both fighting sides. First, we need to state the obvious that the Bolshevik regime, led by Vladimir Lenin, was set for expansion from the beginning. As a prolific American historian, prof. Richard Pipes stated: “the Bolsheviks took power not to change Russia, but to use it as a trampoline for world revolution”.

波蘇戰爭或蘇波戰爭（波蘭語：Wojna polsko-bolszewicka，

俄語：Сове́тско-по́льская война́，1919年2月－1921年3月）是第一次世界大戰結束後，在蘇維埃俄國與波蘭第二共和國這兩個新成立的政權之間進行的一場戰爭。戰爭是由兩國對擴張領土和擴大影響力的企圖所引起。

《凡爾賽條約》使波蘭自18世紀末被瓜分以來重新立國，剛剛恢復獨立的波蘭尋求保住那些在被瓜分時失去的領土；俄羅斯蘇維埃聯邦社會主義共和國（下文簡稱：蘇俄）的目標是控制同樣的領土，那些地方曾經是俄羅斯帝國的一部分，直到第一次世界大戰才失去。兩國都聲稱自己獲勝^[1]。在這場戰爭中，波蘭人聲稱成功的保衛了自己的國家，而蘇俄則聲稱波蘭的向東侵入烏克蘭和白俄羅斯被擊退，認為那是協約國武裝干涉俄國內戰的一部分。

1919年末，形成了一條清楚的陣線。邊境小型衝突逐步升級，1920年4月，畢蘇斯基的向東攻入烏克蘭，開始了公開的戰爭。幾乎同時，蘇俄軍隊已經開始反攻，最初的反攻非常成功，蘇軍進至波蘭首都華沙附近。這時，西方國家擔心蘇軍抵達德國邊境，對波蘇戰爭的興趣增加。在仲夏，華沙看來即將陷落，但在8月中旬局勢再次倒轉，波蘭軍隊在華沙戰役中取得了意外的、決定性的勝利。向東前進的波軍節節勝利，蘇俄提出求和，1920年10月，雙方停火。1921年3月18日簽訂了正式的和平條約《里加條約》，劃分了波蘭和蘇聯之間有爭議的邊界。直至1989年，在共產政權統治下，波蘭及其它蘇聯國家的歷史書不提或是盡量少提及此場戰爭，就算是有，也是當作俄國內戰中的外國干預來寫。^[

波蘭首部3D片《華沙保衛戰》將於9月23日上映。該片反映了1920年波蘭人民抵抗蘇聯紅軍入侵的著名戰役，造價約830萬美元，是波蘭史上投入最高的影片之一。夾在世界上兩個最好戰的大國德國與俄羅斯中間的波蘭俗稱歐洲“墊腳布”誰出門都要踩上一腳。正是一個多災多難的國家對歷史有種特殊的偏好，廣從電影票房上來看，波蘭史上最為賣座的四部影片《劍與火》、《塔杜斯先生》、《你往何處去》以及《卡廷慘案》全都是以歷史事件為題材的影片。波蘭人民的大國理想也只有通過電影這種藝術形式才能得到伸張和舒展。而這部《華沙保衛戰》雖然沒什麼出奇之處，但從氣勢恢宏的預告片看到波蘭的詩人、歌女、神父統統揭竿而起，對蘇聯兩位領導人描繪也是“舉重若輕”，倒流露一絲渾不吝的氣魄。
