What happens

Attack from the Sea (Russian: Корабли штурмуют бастионы, romanized: Korabli shturmuyut bastiony, lit. 'Ships Are Storming Bastions') is a 1953 Soviet biographical war film directed by Mikhail Romm and starring Ivan Pereverzev, Gennadi Yudin and Vladimir Druzhnikov. The film is about the career of the Russian Vice-Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, particularly his squadron's part in the Mediterranean campaign of 1798 and the Siege of Corfu (1798–99), fighting in cooperation with Alexander Suvorov’s ground troops to liberate Italy from the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was made by the Moscow-based Ministry of Cinematography by the production unit Mosfilm, in Agfa-color, renamed Sovcolor by Moscow.
