La route mène au Tibet (Cesta vede do Tibetu) est un film documentaire tchécoslovaco-chinois tourné en 1954 au Tibet par le réalisateur Vladimír Sís et le cameraman Josef Vaniš . Primé aux festivals de Venise et de Karlovy Vary en 1955, il fut censuré en Tchécoslovaquie à la fin des années 1950 par le régime communiste. Une version numérique du film est montré au cinéma Lucerna à Prague en présence du fils de Vladimír Sís.
Cette version est la seule des trois versions officielles du film découvert dans les archives nationales du film par Viktor Kuna, le distributeur du film.
Le film illustre la construction de la route du Sichuan à Lhassa en haute montagne, alors que le Tibet était déjà occupé par la Chine. Alors que des monastères bouddhistes commençaient à être détruits par des soldats chinois, le film montre certains monastères. Le film aborde aussi les difficultés des conditions de vie des Tibétains ainsi qu'une rencontre avec le dalaï-lama. Ce qui rend le film unique, selon Viktor Kuna, c'est qu'il capture de nombreux endroits qui ont été détruits pendant la révolution culturelle.

The film opens in 1938. Dominic Matei (Tim Roth), is a 70-year-old professor of linguistics. On the eve of World War II, Dominic attempts to visit the Café Select but is denied access due to wearing his pyjamas. Dominic realises that he is getting no younger, and has essentially failed his aim in life – to fully discover the origin of human language. His tireless labours have condemned him to a solitary existence, often spent pining after Laura (Alexandra Maria Lara), the love of his youth. Intent on committing suicide, Dominic travels to Bucharest, the city where he and Laura met at university. He is struck by lightning. In hospital, he is initially diagnosed by Professor Stanciulescu (Bruno Ganz) to be dying of his burns. However, Stanciulescu is startled when his patient regenerates into a much younger man. The Professor helps Dominic out of the hospital so as to continue studying him. Shortly afterwards, Romania is occupied by the Nazis, whose interests are aroused by Stanciulescu’s miracle patient.
