Narrative:
The film is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With the ascension of Tsar Paul I to the throne, the celebrated Russian field marshal Alexander Suvorov found himself in disgrace. Suvorov already had world fame behind him, dozens of brilliant victories: Krakow, Turtukai, Rymnik, Focsany, Kinburn and the storming of Izmail, which was unheard of in its audacity.
For this reason, Suvorov, who had returned from yet another victorious battle near Warsaw, did not accept the army reform initiated by Paul “in the Gatchina manner,” which brought back the old regulations and uniform patterns that Suvorov had abolished thirty years earlier.
For his insolence, Suvorov was removed from command of the army by the tsar and exiled to the village of Konchanskoye, lost in the Novgorod forests. But a year later, the tsar finally remembered Suvorov. The reason for this was the young French general Napoleon Bonaparte, who began his liberation campaign in Europe. Russia's allies Austria and England were under threat, and they asked the Russian tsar for help.
Having summoned Suvorov, the Tsar offers him to lead the allied forces for the war against Napoleon, but now Suvorov refuses the Tsar's offer. Only after another year, Suvorov takes command of the troops, only because Russia itself is now under threat.

Having taken command of the combined armies of the allies, Suvorov achieves a brilliant victory and puts Napoleon's invincible army to flight from Italy. Now the way to Paris is open and Suvorov plans to overtake the enemy in his own lair, but his plans suddenly change.
From the Austrian Tsar, to whom Suvorov was subordinate, he received an order to go to Switzerland to help General Rimsky-Korsakov: his army was under threat of defeat here.
Suvorov took the shortest route through the Alps to Switzerland to help Rimsky-Korsakov, but on the way he received a report about the betrayal of the allies. In Switzerland, Napoleon's 75,000-strong army was waiting for him, which could easily defeat his 12,000-strong army.
Suvorov urgently holds a military council, and most of his generals propose to go back. But Suvorov was not the kind of commander to retreat, even in such a seemingly hopeless situation...
