Thriller bélico basado en el famoso asesinato del criminal de guerra nazi Franz Kutschera, comandante de la policía y las SS en el Distrito de Varsovia, ejecutado por el AK polaco el primero de febrero de 1944. Kutschera era apodado "el torturador de Varsovia" por haber ordenado una serie de ejecuciones masivas y su muerte suscitó represalias inmediatas por parte de los ocupantes alemanes, que fusilaron a 100 rehenes inocentes. Sin embargo, el asesinato fortaleció los espíritus de los paisanos polacos y reavivó sus esperanzas de victoria. La película obtuvo reconocimiento local e internacional en países que también habían luchado contra el fascismo.
