Stars of Eger trailer-Egri Csillagok előzetes-in English-"The Eclipse of the Crescent Moon"

The Siege of Eger occurred during the 16th century Ottoman Wars in Europe. In 1552 the forces of the Ottoman Empire led by Kara Ahmed Pasha laid siege to the Castle of Eger, located in the northern part of the Kingdom of Hungary, but the defenders led by István Dobó repelled the attacks and defended the castle.
The siege has become an emblem of national defense and patriotic heroism in Hungary. The novel "Egri Csillagok" ("Eclipse of the Crescent Moon") written by Géza Gárdonyi (1899) is a compulsory reading for all students in Hungary. The film based on the novel (1968) is also a favourite movie of the middle aged or older Hungarians.
