In Prague in 1942 after an assassin on Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich. After the assassin (Svoboda) escapes, he runs and finds shelter in the house of Stephen Novotny. He stays the night and during the morning Stephen Novotyn and 400 other Czechs are captured and are told that if the assassin doesn't turn himself in, they will all be executed. I personally love movies that have ultimatums like this because it adds a lot of pressure onto the characters and it makes you wonder what is going to happen next. It's almost like a mini cliff hanger because once the 400 Czechs are threatened, you have no idea if they will end up dying or if the assassin is the next to die. Will they hold up on their promise if the assassin turns himself in or will they still kill all 400 them with no mercy. A gestapo detective named Alois Gruber has been given the job to track down the assassin no matter what but the people of Prague come Together and make sure something like this won't happen. They stop him and his attempts to find Svoboda. They then frame the Czaka as the assassin then the film ends with "This is not the end" which is a very very interesting way to end the movie. It's a cliffhanger and makes you wonder what really happen from now and onward. This movie was a very interesting one because it kept you guessing through the duration of the movie. I would say that I was entertained and would love to sit down and watch it again to see if I missed anything after the first watch.
