Production


The film is based on the book Gauntlet by Barbara Mašín, Josef Mašín's daughter. The film is directed by Tomáš Mašín, a distant relative of the Mašín brothers. He started preparations for the film in 2010. Mašín struggled to find financing for the film but in 2019 he gained a foundation of 15 million Czech koruna from the Czech film fund. However, filming was further stalled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. The film also gained 1.5 million CZK from crowdfunding on the site Hithit.
In May 2022 filmmakers were choosing filming locations, worked on costumes and were casting supporting roles. Oskar Hes and Jan Nedbal were cast to play the two leading roles. Shooting started in early August 2022, and concluded on 6 December 2022. The first trailer for the film was released on 16 June 2023. The final trailer was released on 12 September 2023.




Release


The film premiered in the Czech Republic on the 26th of October 2023, the 70th anniversary of the Mašín brothers' escape to West Germany. CinemArt distributed the film in the Czech Republic.
