Tolstoy’un destansı başyapıtı, yönetmen Sergei Bondarchuk tarafından kusursuz bir şekilde beyazperdeye aktarılıyor. Oscar ödüllü bu başyapıtta, Rusya’da 1805’de başlayan olaylar dizisi, beş aristokrat ailenin öyküsü etrafında anlatılır ve 1812’de Napolyon’un Rusya’yı işgaliyle zirve yapar. Tolstoy’un dört ciltlik bu dev eserindeki tarihi detayların inanılmaz bir özenle aktarıldığı filmde, 45 dakikalık savaş sahneleri o kadar gerçekçidir ki çekimlerde 120.000 kişilik bir ordu oluşturulmuş ve pek çok at öldürülmüştür. Sovyetler Birliği’ndeki müzelerden alınan eşyaların kullanıldığı film, gerçeğe son derece yakındır. "Savaş ve Barış", aynı adlı romandaki duyguları ve atmosferi de başarıyla sinema diline aktarır. "Edebiyatla sinemanın kusursuz evliliği" olarak nitelendirilen filmin çekimleri tam yedi yıl sürmüş, yapımda binlerce oyuncu rol almış ve dönemin koşullarında 100 milyon dolara mal olmuştur.
