Defiance is a 2008 American war film directed by Edward Zwick. Set in the eastern regions of Nazi-occupied Poland (now West Belarus) during World War II, the film is an adaptation of Nechama Tec's Defiance: The Bielski Partisans, which is based on the true story of the Bielski partisans. In the book, Polish Jews come together for common protection and to oppose the German occupation of their homeland.
Defiance stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell, and George MacKay as four Jewish brothers from Poland who escape from the Nazis and fight back to rescue fellow Jews. Production began in early September 2007. The film had a limited release in the United States on December 31, 2008[1], and is scheduled for full release on January 16, 2009.
