Misplaced Pages

Invisible Jan, (Russian: Неуловимый Ян) is a 1943 Soviet World War II film directed by Isidor Annensky and Vladimir Petrov.

The film tells about the confrontation between Czechoslovak patriots and German fascists.

Plot

Armed with forged documents, former Prague University student Jan Smudek, a survivor of a concentration camp, travels across the roads of Czechia in a comfortable car. Using every secluded spot he can find, Jan broadcasts radio messages urging the people to actively resist fascism. Every day, precisely at noon, his broadcasts deliver the truth about the Soviet Union.

Nazi agents relentlessly hunt for the elusive patriot, but whenever it seems like capture and death are inevitable, ordinary citizens come to his aid, ensuring his mission continues.
