Battleship Potemkin is a 1925 Soviet silent epic film produced by Mosfilm. Directed and co-written by Sergei Eisenstein, it presents a dramatization of the mutiny that occurred in 1905 when the crew of the Russian battleship Potemkin rebelled against their officers.
The film is a prime example of the Soviet montage theory of editing, such as in the Odessa Steps scene, which became widely influential and often recreated. In 1958, the film was voted on the Brussels 12 list at the 1958 World Expo. Battleship Potemkin is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
