The adaptation of the novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The 17th century, war between the Kingdom of Poland and the Cossacks is approaching on the eastern territories. No Polish polygon can boast of such film achievements as the training ground in Biedrusko near Poznań. It is worth mentioning all the more because the polygonal landscapes are available for visitors. Most of the scenes were created in the south part of the military site, free from artillery shelling. Precisely due to the unique richness of flora and fauna combined with steppe-like landscape - like the old eastern reaches of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth - Jerzy Hoffman decided to film the action of "With Fire and Sword'' here. All the battle scenes, many duels, crossings of hussars and Tartar hordes were filmed in Biedrusko.
