This historical film, which won the International Prize at Cannes in 1954, chronicles the life of Albania's national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, a 15th century feudal lord and fierce opponent of the Ottoman Empire. This flamboyant Albanian-USSR co-production depicts him as a medieval Spartacus and proto-Communist who arms slaves in order to defeat the enemy.

Skënderbeu (Sergei Yutkevich, Shqipëri, BRSS, 1953)
I kurorëzuar me Çmimin Ndërkombëtar në Kanë në vitin 1954, ky film historik i kushtohet heroit kombëtar shqipëtar Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, sunduesit të shekullit të 15-të dhe kundërshtarit të egër të Perandorisë Osmane. I bashkëprodhuar nga BRSS, ky afresk plot ngjyra e ngre personazhin e tij në gradën e një Spartaku çlirimtar, i cili, në një vrull pothuajse komunist, u jep armët skllevërve për ta luftuar armikun.
