共产党组织决定用挖地道的办法营救狱中的同志,87公尺的地道挖了4年。这期间党内出现分歧。弗朗西斯科反对左倾冒进,认为需要冷静对待。挖地道虽然费时,但稳扎稳打。终能达到目的,而贝涅吉克多是左倾激进分子,他主张用激烈的暴力手段。他不请示组织,单独绑架了陆军部长的哥哥作为人质,企图换取二名议员。失败后,他义企图暗杀陆军部长,又告失败。贝涅吉克多在接二连三的挫折面前以自杀结束性命。而弗朗西斯科和其他革命者... 影片通过一个虚构的故事表现的革命斗争中的两条路线,主题是有积极意义的。通过对贝捏吉克多的形象刻画,批判了革命斗争中的左倾机会主义,冒险主义和盲动主义。但影片的创作在一定程度上是为了配合当时苏共的对外路线,因此带有比较明显的说教意味。不过,影片故事曲折紧张,悬念丛生,很像—部惊险片。同时,影片人物刻画也有独到之.特别是对贝涅吉克多的心理描绘真实可信,演员的表演也生动自然,恰到好处。
