Hungary's Revival (Hungary: Magyar Feltámadás) is a 1939 Hungarian war drama film directed by Jenő Csepreghy and Ferenc Kiss and starring Anna Tőkés, Manyi Kiss and Gyula Benkő.

Synopsis

In 1918, following the Austro Hungarian defeat in the First World War, Czech forces occupy and annexe Carpathian Ruthenia. Some families leave for Budapest while others stay under the domination of the Czech authorities, who imprison Hungarians for supporting Iriddentism. Two decades later Hungary has recovered its strength under the rule of Miklós Horthy. Two young Hungarians, who knew each other as children in 1918, return to their hometown and face discrimination from the Czechs. However, the arrival of Hungarian troops liberates their home.
