Synopsis
The 12th Man (Den 12. mann, 2017) is Harald Zwart's wartime survival drama, and you can watch online on iFILM. When a German ship sinks his vessel off the northern coast, Norwegian saboteur Jan Baalsrud is the only one of twelve resistance fighters left alive.
Wounded and freezing, he drags himself ashore and runs for the Swedish border. The Gestapo gives chase, headed by an officer who turns the manhunt into a personal obsession. Baalsrud hides in caves, loses toes to frostbite, and survives only because remote fishermen and farmers risk everything to shelter a stranger. Thomas Gullestad carries the film as a man pushed past every limit, with Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the relentless pursuer.
Zwart reconstructs Baalsrud's real 1943 trek across Arctic Scandinavia with no heroic gloss, just pain, snow blindness and the quiet courage of people who hid him. What grips you isn't the chase but a body that simply refuses to quit. Stream The 12th Man (2017) online on iFILM.
