Lone Wolf combines dramatized scenes and rare archival footage to recount Czech RAF pilot Josef František’s brief wartime career.

Flavorful performances by some of the country’s top actors and a series of increasingly outrageous situations frequently break through the artifice of an implausible screenplay.

The new feature about celebrated WWII RAF ace Josef František has wrapped filming in Prague and is targeting a July 2026 cinema release.

The true story of how Czechoslovak Radio broadcast through the 1968 Warsaw Pact Invasion is recounted in this handsomely-mounted drama from Jiří Mádl.

Despite winning Best Picture, Brothers was shut out of its 14 other nominations, while the sci-fi flick Restore Point and TV series Volga earned five Czech Lions apiece.

Nominations for the Czech Republic’s version of the Academy Awards are in ahead of the ceremony set to take place in Prague on March 9.

Director Tomáš Mašín’s drama recounts the story of the Mašín Brothers, who put up an armed resistance to communist oppression in the 1950s.
