Battleship Potemkin is one of the most influential films in the history of cinema. One of the most celebrated scenes in the film is the massacre of civilians on the Odessa Steps (also known as the Primorsky or Potemkin Stairs). This sequence has been assessed as a “classic” and has been referenced and lampooned in many movies including Terry Gilliam’s Brazil and Brian DePalma’s The Untouchables.

Running time: 1 hr, 11min.
