Fierce Town

Fierce Town (2025) is a Russian historical action film you can watch online on iFILM. The spring of 1238: the Mongol army under Batu Khan is burning its way through Rus', taking each town in turn. One town does not fall.

For seven weeks, Kozelsk holds off assault after assault. No garrison, no professional soldiers — just residents who have nowhere to retreat. Aleksey Guskov and Aleksandr Myotylkin lead the cast in Konstantin Buslov's film about the siege; it does not spare the viewer the weight of what each defense costs.

Batu Khan reportedly ordered Kozelsk's name erased from Mongol records, commanding it be called only "the fierce city." Watching this film, that title makes sense. Watch Fierce Town (2025) online on iFILM.
