What happens

Resistance is a 2003 Dutch-American war film, directed by Todd Komarnicki and starring Bill Paxton, Julia Ormond, Philippe Volter, Sandrine Bonnaire, and Victor Reinier. It was written by Komarnicki and Anita Shreve, based on Shreve's 1995 novel of the same name. Resistance, with a 16 million euro budget, was the most expensive Dutch production ever at release. Its theatrical run only lasted for a few weeks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
