Brothers tells one of the greatest stories of the Cold War – that of a resistance group of brothers Josef (Oskar Her) and Ctirad Mašín  (Jan Nedbal). The Mašín family becomes the target of persecution in communist-dominated Czechoslovakia, and the brothers believe that, following the example of their father, a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance, the only way to fight the dictatorship is with a gun. At the same time, they are aware of their responsibility towards their mother (Tatiana Dyková Vilhelmová) and sister (Karolína Lea Nováková). They form a resistance group, that is responsible for a series of violent acts, the investigation of which is entrusted to State Security Captain Koller (Stefan Konarske). The Mašíns become the most wanted men in the country. They attempt to escape to West Berlin, where they plan to join the American army in order to liberate Czechoslovakia. The search for the five resistance members continues in East Germany, where one of the largest manhunts in modern history begins. Few topics in Czech history evoke as much emotion as the story of the Brothers.
