The theme of the film is the Battle of Somosierra, which took place during the Napoleonic Wars. During this battle, Polish cavalrymen under the command of Jan Leon Kozietulski crossed a two-and-a-half kilometre long gorge and a pass within 7 minutes, paving the way for Napoleon Bonaparte's troops to Madrid
