H-8 is a 1958 Yugoslav film directed by Nikola Tanhofer starring Đurđa Ivezić, Boris Buzančić, and Antun Vrdoljak.

Plot

During a rainstorm, a reckless car driver causes the collision of a bus and a truck on a two-lane road between Zagreb and Belgrade. The film covers the events on the bus and the truck leading up to the crash, and the lives of the characters who end up in the crash.

Cast

Background

The movie is based on a true story, in which the driver that caused a fatal 1957 bus-truck collision was never identified. "H-8" is the beginning of that driver's license plate, the only available information on the culprit's vehicle.^[2]^[3]

Reception

In a 1999 poll among 44 Croatian film critics and film historians, H-8 placed second in the list of all-time best Croatian films, behind One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away.^[4] In a similar 2020 poll, it placed first.^[5]

Awards

H-8 won the Big Golden Arena for Best Film at the 1958 Pula Film Festival.^[6]
