This riveting wartime thriller stars Robert Cummings as Barry Kane, a Los Angeles aircraft factory worker who witnesses a Nazi agent firebombing his plant. However, it is Barry who is accused of the fiery sabotage, and to clear his name he sets off on a desperate, action-packed cross-country chase that takes him from Boulder Dam to New York’s Radio City Music Hall to the top of the Statue of Liberty. Hitchcock’s first film with an all-American cast moves with breakneck speed toward its final heart-pounding confrontation and it remains a suspense classic.
Viewer Reviews Alfred Hitchcock rarely worked with B actors and production teams. In Saboteur he did, and produced a charming film that reflected his ongoing concerns of trust and guilt/innocence. The Statue of Liberty sequence is worth the price by itself.
This film is a great companion piece to The 39 Steps and North By Northwest.
