The young soldier soon becomes a national hero to the locals -- including Sacha (GABRIEL MARSHALL-THOMSON), a boy who takes it upon himself to infiltrate the Germans for information -- and the bane of those German forces. Accordingly, they call in Major Koenig (ED HARRIS), a legendary aristocratic sniper, to eradicate Vassili and thus destroy the military and political icon.
From that point on and while working with other snipers such as Koulikov (RON PERLMAN), Vassili must deal with both himself and Danilov falling for Tania, all while also dealing with the seasoned and ever resourceful Koenig whose only objective is to find and kill him.
Parties on both sides of the conflict have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while 1 possible "f" word is uttered (in the middle of a loud scene) and various expletives and a handful of colorful phrases are present. One sensuous sex scene features related movement and sounds occurring beneath a blanket, along with some brief nudity as a couple have sex among other nearby, but sleeping soldiers. Other brief nonsexual nudity is also briefly present.
Beyond that, various characters drink and smoke.
