## Synopsis

Against All is a 1956 Czechoslovak historical drama film directed by Otakar Vávra. It is based on the novel Proti všem by Alois Jirásek. The film's budget was 25 million KČs which made it the most expensive Czech film of the time. It is the third part of Vávra's cinematic Hussite Revolutionary Trilogy. The plot is set after Jan Žižka and concludes the entire trilogy. It takes place in 1420. The central motif of the film is the fight between the Hussites and the troops of the First anti-Hussite crusade led by the heir to the Bohemian throne, the Hungarian King and Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg. It also follows the development of Tábor and the disputes between the moderate party of Jan Žižka and the radical Picarts of Petr Kániš.
