Stripped of their assets, brothers Radek and Josef believe the only way to fight oppression is with guns. Together with three friends, they form an underground army that is responsible for a series of violent acts leading to an investigation by State Security. This results in the Masin Brothers becoming the most wanted men in the country. This is the true story of two brothers who, in 1953, tried to escape communist Czechoslovakia to join the US army in West Berlin. What ensued was one of the largest manhunts in modern history. The brothers are still hailed by some as heroes and by others as murderers.
