The 12th Man (2017)

The 12th Man (2017) is a Norwegian historical war drama directed by Harald Zwart. The film is based on the true story of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian resistance fighter during World War II, who was part of a failed sabotage mission against Nazi forces in Norway.

The plot follows Baalsrud (played by Thomas Gullestad) and his eleven comrades who attempt to infiltrate Nazi-occupied Norway by boat, only for their mission to be betrayed. The group is ambushed, and while most of his fellow resistance members are captured or killed, Baalsrud manages to escape. What follows is an extraordinary tale of survival, as Baalsrud embarks on a harrowing journey across the frozen, hostile landscape of Northern Norway, evading the Nazis led by SS officer Kurt Stage (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who relentlessly hunts him down.
