Panfilov's 28 (28 panfilovtsev) is a 2016 Russian war drama directed by Andrey Shalopa and Kim Druzhinin. It depicts one of the most famous episodes of the Battle for Moscow, the story of Panfilov's Twenty-Eight Guardsmen, a small unit of Red Army soldiers of General Panfilov's division who stood against the overwhelming forces of Wehrmacht in November 16, 1941 at the village of Dubosekovo and mostly perished in action.
