Directed by Renzo Martinelli, The Day of the Siege: September Eleven 1683 (2012) is based on the late 17th Century Battle of Vienna. In the summer of 1683, an army of 300,000 Ottoman Turks began the siege of Vienna against the Habsburg monarchy, with the ultimate goal of moving on to conquer Rome and convert St. Peter's Basilica into a mosque. The attack was thwarted by the forces of Polish King Jan III Sobieski. The special effects are not particularly well done, resembling video game graphics at times, but the costumes and set designs are successful. F. Murray Abraham leads the good cast comprised largely of unknowns.
