- The 12th Man (Norwegian: Den 12. mann) is a 2017 Norwegian historical drama directed by Harald Zwart and written by Petter Skavlan (under the pseudonym Alex Boe). Thomas Gullestad stars as the protagonist Jan Baalsrud, who escapes from Germans in Rebbenesøya, via Lyngen Fjord and Manndalen, to neutral Sweden in the spring of 1943.
The film, which is based on historical events, was adapted from the book Jan Baalsrud and Those Who Saved Him (2001), written by Tore Haug and Astrid Karlsen Scott. Harald Zwart secured the film rights for this book in 2004.
The book and its film adaptation have the same protagonist as Arne Skouen's Oscar-nominated film Nine Lives (1957), in which Baalrud's courage and stamina were also emphasized. Jan Baalsrud's story was also told in We Die Alone by David Howarth.
Unlike the book it is based on, The 12th Man heavily emphasizes the efforts of those who helped Baalsrud escape, which is in line with Baalsrud's own statements about the local population's courage. The 12th Man's plot also details the pursuit of Baalsrud from the Gestapo leadership's perspective, and so depicts the escape as a cat-and-mouse game between Sturmbannführer Kurt Stage and Baalsrud.
According to German documents, the Nazis believed that the entire resistance group had perished in a blast, meaning that there are no reports indicating that the Germans even knew to hunt for Baalsrud. Baalsrud himself, however, claims that he killed two German soldiers in the fight, which would have definitely created a sharp German response.
The 12th Man tells the dramatic story of Jan Baalsrud's escape from the Nazis during World War II.
On Shetland, 12 Norwegian resistance fighters board a fishing boat with eight tons of TNT and cross the North Sea to sabotage German military facilities. The mission gets into trouble soon after reaching Norway, where their local contact is long dead and their identity is compromised by a German sympathiser who immediately informs the Germans about their arrival.
A German warship locates the fishing boat and opens fire. The resistance fighters ignites the TNT and jump into the water near the fjord. Eleven of the fighters are rounded up by the Germans on the beach. One is shot on the spot, and 10 are captured. Two die from torture while being interrogated, the other captive fighters are executed on Tromsøya, after the German officers interrogate and torture them about their mission.
The 12th resistance fighter, Jan Baalsrud, manages to escape by hiding and swimming across the fjord, in sub freezing temperatures, to the nearest island. He receives assistance from locals who risk their own lives to help Baalsrud, who manages to escape from Rebbenesøya to Sweden, via Lyngenhalvøya and Manndalen.

Agreed, it's amazing. I went in not expecting much, but it's one of the best suspense/survival films around
Excellent movie. We all need to learn history so it will not be repeated period
JRM learned how to play evil when he was Henry The 8th 🤴. A fantastic actor!
Very good movie, well done showing the bravery of these men! JRM was excellent as always!
Funny how the officer told the prisoners to fully submerge but didn't do so himself later on
