'Ships Are Storming Bastions') is a 1953 Soviet biographical war film directed by Mikhail Romm and starring Ivan Pereverzev, Gennadi Yudin and Vladimir Druzhnikov.

During the Mediterranean campaign of 1798 of the War of the Second Coalition, Imperial Russian Navy Admiral Fyodor Ushakov undertakes a mission to liberate the Ionian Islands from French occupation in concert with Ottoman forces.

Ushakov leads Russian and Ottoman forces against the French, who have overrun the Kingdom of Naples and established the client Parthenopean Republic in its place.

Neapolitan royalists proceed to unleash a reign of terror against captive republicans and French troops, perpetrating numerous summary executions.

After Tsar Alexander I of Russia ascends to the throne in 1801, Ushakov is forcibly retired from the Russian navy as his military contributions have been overshadowed by courtly politics.
