An outnumbered group of Bolsheviks defend their besieged city from invading nationalist troops; Hiding out in the city's munitions plant (The "Arsenal" to which the title refers), the battle rages to an intense conclusion, with all of Dovzhenko's dizzying skills as a director employed to stunning effect.

Reviews for Arsenal
More clearly influenced by Sergei Eisenstein than any of Dovzhenko's other pictures, it's certainly the one that uses fast editing in the most exciting fashion.
Represents the summit of Soviet cinema and remains one of the most poetic and visually beautiful of all Russian films.
