'''''Defiance''''' is a 2008 World War II film starring [[Daniel Craig]] and [[Liev Schreiber]] as brothers who decide to take the fight to the enemy during the German occupation of Poland while also protecting mass numbers of Jewish refugees. The film, based on a true story, was directed by [[Edward Zwick]] (''[[The Last Samurai]]'') and should be noted for the many World War II-era weapons seen in what appears to be near mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame (a rarity for the films). | |||

Defiance is a 2008 World War II film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as brothers who decide to take the fight to the enemy during the German occupation of Poland while also protecting mass numbers of Jewish refugees. The film, based on a true story, was directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai) and should be noted for the many World War II-era weapons seen in what appears to be near mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame (a rarity for the films).
The following weapons were used in the film Defiance (2008):
