Land Gone Wild is based on Jirí Stránský's novels Zdivocelá zeme (The Land Gone Wild) and Aukce (Auction). Combining the retrospective with the adventure genres, it covers the period from the first weeks after the end of World War II until the 1990s, and through the story of its fictitious protagonist--war-time RAF pilot Antonín Madera--describes the real developments in post-war Czechoslovakia.
