Full Plot Details

A powerful new film inspired by a true story. This feature follows the heroic lives of a world leader and a young man swept up in the horrors of WWII. Both men are from Hungary--a country and German ally that had been spared the atrocities orchestrated by Hitler throughout much of Europe. As the war reaches its climax, Germany begins to doubt the loyalties of the Hungarian leadership-in particular Regent Horthy (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley). The Regent tries to navigate his country between the growing terror of Nazi Germany and the oppressive threat of communist Russia. He is ultimately faced with ceding power to another political party or accepting the execution of his son. As the crisis unfolds, thousands of his citizens are forced underground or put into ghettos. One of them is a young man named Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong) who is separated from his family and determined to find them. Aided by the woman he loves (Hannah Tointon), Elek disguises himself as a Nazi SS officer and discovers the truth of Hitler's "Final Solution." In a race against time to save his family and thousands of his countrymen, he embarks on a journey filled with suspense and danger. An inspirational film of love, war, and sacrifice, WALKING WITH THE ENEMY is an unforgettable experience for audiences.

Movie Reviews

National Catholic Reporter - 9/10 by Sr. Rose PacatteWalking with the Enemy is an intense and stirring war film that reveals several heroes heretofore unknown to most of us, and this is a good thing.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by David HiltbrandA badly written, poorly acted, bathetic pageant of bad wigs and worse accents, rendered with production values on a par with NBC's recent Sound of Music mummery.
Cinemalogue.com - 9/10 by Todd JorgensonAn unheralded tale of true-life World War II heroism is given standard melodramatic treatment in this earnest epic.
ReviewExpress.com - 8/10 by Diana SaengerGreat production value & based on a true story
New York Times - 8/10 by Ben KenigsbergVisually, Walking With the Enemy resembles a TV mini-series, a sense enhanced by the director Mark Schmidt’s habit of cutting away from bloodshed. Constant title cards introducing historical figures suggest the work of a completist rather than a filmmaker who has focused the material.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Robin Clifford"Walking with the Enemy" works best for us history nuts who can get by the film's clichés.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekIntriguing, though cinematically prosaic and factually loose.
The Jewish Advocate - 8/10 by Daniel M. KimmelLike "Defiance" (2008), which dramatized the resistance efforts led by the Bielski brothers, this is that rare Holocaust drama about Jews fighting back.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Michael NordineAs with many other WWII films, it takes genuinely stirring source material -- a young Hungarian man poses as a Nazi to find his dislocated family -- and reduces it to its most shopworn components.
Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedWalking With the Enemy is a powerful piece of filmmaking that examines history and heroism with big-screen artistry, imagination and thrills.
