Synopsis
The Legend of Tomiris (2019) is a Kazakh historical epic you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Akan Satayev and starring Almira Tursyn as the Saka queen who crushed the armies of Cyrus the Great somewhere around 530 BC.
Tomiris rises from tribal princess to sovereign ruler through a trail of loss, betrayal, and relentless war. Satayev keeps the film grounded in the hard politics of the ancient steppe — alliances forged and broken, captivity, escape — before delivering the final confrontation that ended the Persian campaign into Central Asia for a generation.
Clocking in at 155 minutes, it stands as one of the most ambitious productions in Kazakh cinema history and drew record domestic crowds on release. Less a war film than a portrait of a woman whose grief became a weapon. Stream The Legend of Tomiris online on iFILM.
