49th Parallel

THE MIGHTEST MANHUNT THAT EVER SWEPT THE SCREEN!

A wartime thriller-propaganda film following Nazi soldiers' desperate flight across Canada toward neutral America, built on cat-and-mouse tension and encounters with ordinary citizens who embody moral resistance.

In the early days of World War II, a German U-boat is sunk in Canada's Hudson Bay. Hoping to evade capture, a small band of German soldiers led by commanding officer Lieutenant Hirth attempts to cross the border into the United States, which has not yet entered the war and is officially neutral. Along the way, the German soldiers encounter brave men such as a French-Canadian fur trapper, Johnnie, a leader of a Hutterite farming community, Peter, an author, Philip and a soldier, Andy Brock.
