Der Film erzählt von den Hehlereien eines geschäftstüchtigen GIs in einem japanischen Kriegsgefangenenlager. Er trotzt den menschenunwürdigen Zuständen, manipuliert seine Umgebung und kontrolliert schließlich die Schwarzmarktgeschäfte im Lager, bis er eine Machtposition genießt, die weit über seinen militärischen Rang und seine gesellschaftliche Stellung hinausgeht. Der Film handelt vom Kampf eines Mannes, der um jeden Preis überleben und zu Reichtum kommen will. (Verleiher-Text)

The main strength of "Na Králi kryse" lies in its original source, the film adaptation couldn't avoid certain simplifications and I also had a problem with the casting. Nevertheless, the story of the rise of an insignificant soldier who demonstrated extraordinary adaptability and entrepreneurial skills under the oppressive conditions of a prisoner of war camp, only to later realize that social status cannot be overcome in everyday life and class differences function reliably, is itself so strong that it deserves five stars. Although I liked the Czech stage version more on the television screen. Overall impression: 90%.

How would you survive in a Singapore prison at the end of World War II? Watch this film. It isn't about action, it's not about how all the soldiers were heroes, but it's about what it means to survive in conditions of uncertainty, what it's like to try to keep your sanity and push through until there's maybe a chance of liberation. Psychologically, it's good.
