It’s going to have to go a ways to overtake Bondarchuk’s 1970 epic “ Waterloo”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_(1970_film)

“The film is most famous for its lavish battle scenes,[7] shot on-location in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.[8] The impact of the 15,000 authentically dressed extras, recreating the battle sections with true numbers and without special effects, is unsurpassed, and remains the highest number of costumed extras in any film.[9]”

The soldiers were all Russian and a calvary charge into their midst (marked off pathway) had to be canceled because the Russians would run in terror.

WATERLOO. One of my favorite films about Napoleon. the other is the 1966 Russian version of WAR AND PEACE. I have the Russian National Cinema Council version of both.

The KULTUR version is pan and scan with faded color and some scenes cut out. I don’t recommend it.
