About Dark Sun
A remake of Vávra's 1948 atomic age thriller Krakatit. Engineer Prokop creates the devastating explosive “Krakatit” and soon confronts manipulative agents and imperialist conspiracies. Realizing his invention’s threat, he fights to prevent its misuse, risking everything to stop those who seek to exploit his epochal discovery.
Directed by Otakar Vávra, Dark Sun leans on a strong ensemble — Radoslav Brzobohatý, Rudolf Hrušínský, Magda Vášáryová — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1980.
