The 12th Man

The 12th Man is a 2017 Norwegian historical drama film directed by Harald Zwart, starring Thomas Gullestad as Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian resistance fighter who escapes from occupying Nazi Germans on the island of Rebbenesøya via the Lyngen Fjord and Manndalen to neutral Sweden in the spring of 1943. The film is based on historical events and adapted from the book "Jan Baalsrud and Those Who Saved Him" by Tore Haug and Astrid Karlsen Scott, emphasizing the efforts of those who helped Baalsrud escape as much as his own story.
