"Phantom of Belgrade" is an action-thriller based on a true story. While former Yugoslav president Tito was on an official visit to Cuba in 1979, a citizen of Belgrade stole a white Porsche and for ten straight evenings drove around the city forcing the police on a wild goose chase in the early hours. Thousands of people are said to have hit the streets every night to support the gesture which became seen as a political statement against the government.
