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. It is set in 1943 and follows Baalsrud’s harrowing escape from the Nazis after a failed sabotage mission. Baalsrud is one of twelve commandos who were part of the operation, but after the mission is compromised, he is the only one who manages to escape.

The film depicts Baalsrud’s extraordinary journey across the harsh, frozen Norwegian landscape, while being relentlessly pursued by Nazi forces. Severely injured, frostbitten, and constantly at the brink of death, Baalsrud receives help from locals along the way, which becomes a critical part of his survival. His physical endurance, determination, and the courage of the villagers make this survival story compelling.

The movie is noted for its intense and realistic portrayal of survival against impossible odds, and its atmospheric cinematography captures the brutal Norwegian winter and the tension of the chase. Thomas Gullestad stars as Jan Baalsrud, delivering a performance that highlights both the physical and psychological toll of his character’s ordeal. The 12th Man showcases themes of resistance, bravery, and human resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.
