October: Ten Days That Shook the World (Russian: Октябрь: Десять дней, которые потрясли мир, romanized: Oktyabr': Desyat' dney kotorye potryasli mir) is a 1928 Soviet silent propaganda film written and directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov. It is a celebratory dramatization of the 1917 October Revolution commissioned for the tenth anniversary of the event. Originally released in the Soviet Union as October, the film was re-edited and released internationally as Ten Days That Shook The World, after John Reed's popular 1919 book on the Revolution.
