Don Kikhot) is a 1957 Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Kozintsev.

It is based on Evgeny Schwartz's stage adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes's novel of the same name.

Hidalgo Alonso Quixano, deeply enamored with chivalric romances, decides to become a knight himself and embarks on a journey of adventure.

Taking the name Don Quixote, he sets out with his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, to perform heroic deeds in defense of the downtrodden and in honor of his imagined lady love.

Though mocked and frequently beaten by those he encounters, Don Quixote remains steadfast in his belief in justice and the inherent goodness of humanity.
