Die Brüder

Based on a true story. The Year is 1953, and the Masin family is persecuted for its bourgeoisie ancestry under communist-ruled Czechoslovakia. Stripped of their assets, brothers Radek and Josef believe that the only way to fight oppression is with guns in their hands. The brothers form an underground boy army responsible for a series of violent acts leading to an investigation by State Security Captain Koller. The Masin brothers became the most wanted men in the country. They attempt to emigrate to West Berlin to join the US Army and help liberate Czechoslovakia from the communists. Still, Captain Koller has not given up and mobilises a military operation, the size of which has not been seen since World War II, resulting in one of the largest manhunts in modern history.
