Operation Dunaj Trailers

Operation Danube was the cover name for the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact armies in August 1968. The fleet of Polish tanks which arrive to liberate their neighbor, ostensibly threatened by a counter-revolution, includes the old tank nicknamed Ladybird, which is the last to leave the barracks.

Reviews
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
allenrogerj In August 1968 Polish troops- along with those of the U.S.S.R.and assorted other countries intervened- as they put it- in Czechoslovakia to prevent a hypothetical counter-revolution. This is the story of one obsolete tank and its crew...It isn't a very good film, unfortunately. National stereotypes abound- the Poles are obsessed with "honour" and- as one of them says and the film shows- they leave a mess behind everywhere they go; the Czechs are obsessed with making deals and surviving and the Russians- who appear briefly and murderously- are glass-chewing violent drunks. Most of the film is slapstick, which makes the odd realistic violence arbitrary and inappropriate without being moving. At a guess, it's an attempt to do something similar to Kusturica's surreal combination of farce, romance and drama in Underground, but the director lacks Kusturica's skills in camera-work and the film seems arbitrary and earth-bound. In the end, most of the tank crew with their recently-acquired girlfriends try to escape to Vienna and freedom in the tank.
