After escaping the brutal Soviet oppression of the Hungarian Revolution, cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond rose to fame by pioneering the American New Wave with classic films like Easy Rider, Deliverance, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and The Deer Hunter. This film will be an intimate portrait of the 50-year journey of two giants of modern image making and their deep bond of brotherhood that transcended every imaginable boundary.
