Battleship Potemkin, inspired by historical events, tells the story of a shipboard riot that became a revolution. Beginning with a small group of men going on strike after being served rotten meat, the revolutionary fever quickly spreads through the whole crew, and the captain, ship's doctor, and priest are all tossed overboard. Hoisting the red flag of revolution, the mutineers set sail for their home port, Odessa. After inspiring revolution among the masses of Odessa, a group of newly-arisen proletarians are slaughtered by the merciless tsarist police. Named the best film of all time at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, Battleship Potemkin is often considered one of the most influential propaganda films in history
