MOVIE NEWS – Angry taxi drivers, an explosive political crisis and a barrage of 56 bullets in the new trailer for Blokád. The film, which offers the excitement of political crime, recalls the controversial and tension-filled days of October 1990 in a spectacular way, but in accordance with the events that took place, including the real characters of the time. In just over a month, on October 20, one of the most anticipated Hungarian films of this year, Blokád, about the 1990 taxi blockade and the Prime Minister at the time, József Antall, will be shown in cinemas.

Taxi drivers demonstrate at the Parliament against the drastic increase in petrol prices. Soon disillusioned with democracy, they put the city under blockade, and soon the whole country. The opposition stands by them and calls for a revolution. The president of the republic, the press, and the public mood sympathize with them, and the government leaves the unpopular government alone because of the unpopular measures. József Antall, the former 56 revolutionary, suddenly finds himself on the other side of the barricade. Left alone, freshly operated on, in a ward. What should you do, how, and with what means will you solve this situation? The Blokád is not only a chronicle of the four days of the taxi blockade: it gives a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes struggles and deals, and into the private life of the Prime Minister who handled the crisis and fought for democracy.
