Famed Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky's final masterpiece THE SACRIFICE is a haunting vision of a world threatened with nuclear annihilation. As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of their patriarch Alexander, news of the outbreak of World War III reaches their remote Baltic island — and the happy mood turns to horror. The family descends into a state of psychological devastation, brilliantly evoked by Tarkovsky and the film's masterful cinematographer, Sven Nykvist.
