Set against the brutal backdrop of World War II, The 12th Man is a gripping survival thriller based on the true story of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian resistance fighter who defied impossible odds.

In 1943, twelve commandos embark on a top-secret sabotage mission against the Nazis. But when their operation is compromised, eleven are brutally executed. Only one—Jan Baalsrud—manages to escape. Alone and wounded, he plunges into the frozen wilderness of Nazi-occupied Norway, with elite German forces led by the relentless Gestapo officer Kurt Stage hot on his trail.

As Jan fights against freezing temperatures, starvation, and his own failing body, he must rely on the kindness of ordinary Norwegians who risk their lives to help him. From fishermen to farmers, they form an underground network, smuggling him from one hiding spot to another, evading German patrols at every turn. But the journey is unforgiving. Facing frostbite, avalanches, and near-certain death, Jan is pushed to the edge of human endurance.

With breathtaking cinematography capturing the icy landscapes and a pulse-pounding score, The 12th Man is more than a war story—it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. As Jan’s struggle unfolds, each moment tightens the tension, making viewers question how much one man can endure in the face of relentless pursuit. An extraordinary tale of survival, sacrifice, and courage, this film is a harrowing reminder of what it means to fight for freedom, no matter the cost.
