The Battlestar Potemkin is a silent film made in 1925 by Soviet film maker Sergei Eisenstein, which is often hailed as the greatest film of all time. Loosely based upon the famous mutiny on the eponymous Battlestar, in which the crew rose up against their oppressive captain, Count Baltar, and the Cylon regime. Noted for its blatant anti-Cylon/pro-Twelve Colonies bias, it is usually considered that the film was intended as Colonist propaganda.
