Synopsis
In an isolated fortress prison on the barren Hungarian plains following the crushed 1848 revolution, Austrian authorities systematically subject captured peasant partisans and highwaymen to psychological games of betrayal, false promises, and mental torture to uncover rebel leaders. Miklós Jancsó's breathtaking monument of geometrical widescreen camera movements and political terror.
