Plots(1)

Kolya (Dana Andrews), Kurin (Walter Huston), Damian (Farley Granger), and Marina (Anne Baxter) are Ukraine farmers whose whole way of life is turned upside down when Germany, in disregard of former treaties, takes over the land in an iron-fisted occupation. Many of the enraged farmers take up arms in opposition of the Nazis, heading to the countryside to fight, while the people left behind destroy their crops rather than relinquish them to the German regime. North Star is the powerful, gripping drama of a people's will to survive and their dogged struggle to obtain freedom.
