The Great Movie Robbery

The Great Movie Robbery is a unique film that serves as a feature-length commercial for an exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the nationalization of the Czechoslovak film industry. The story follows comedians Oldřich Kaiser and Jiří Lábus as they prepare to accept an award from Japanese television representatives at the exhibition.

In a parallel plot, five gangsters plan to steal a revolutionary invention from professor Suzuki. This invention is a super holograph that allows characters from television to be transported into the real world and vice versa. This combination of comedy and science fiction makes for an interesting narrative that reflects the film-making landscape of its time.

Collectors may find value in this film for its representation of Czechoslovak cinema and its innovative premise, which combines elements of both comedy and speculative technology. The cast, featuring notable figures such as Jiří Lábus and Oldřich Kaiser, adds to its appeal for fans of regional cinema.
