Mircea (film)
''Mircea'' (AKA: ''Proud Heritage'') is a 1989 film about Mircea the Elder, the Christian king of Wallachia who repelled the attempts at conquest made by the Ottoman Empire in the late 14th century and early 15th century.

The screenplay was written by Titus Popovici and the film was directed by Sergiu Nicolaescu.
