This sweeping cinematic masterpiece portrays the rule of Mihai Pătrașcu, famously known as “Mihai Viteazul” or “Michael the Brave,” from 1593 to 1601. He is celebrated for uniting the three regions of Transalpine Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia into what is now Romania at the close of the 16th century (1599-1601). The film vividly captures his struggle against the formidable Ottoman and Austrian Empires, blending grand battle sequences with intricate political machinations, deadly betrayals, and familial conflicts.
