Hangmen Also Die

Based on a true story. After the Nazi administrator of Czechoslovakia Reinhard Heydrich is shot, (best known to the Czechs as "The Hangman" because of his excessive brutality) his assassin tries to elude the Gestapo and struggles with his impulse to give himself up as hostages are executed one by one. Many movie veterans are in this film, and the intensity builds up to an immense pitch!
