The 49th Parallel (released in the US as The Invaders) is a 1941 British war drama directed by Michael Powell and written by Emeric Pressburger. The plot follows a stranded German U-boat crew in Canada at the dawn of World War II, attempting to evade capture by crossing the border into the then-neutral United States.
As the Nazi sailors journey across the varied Canadian landscape, their numbers dwindle as they encounter—and clash with—a diverse cross-section of society. Their encounters with a French-Canadian trapper (Laurence Olivier), a Hutterite community, a bohemian writer (Leslie Howard), and a disgruntled Canadian soldier (Raymond Massey) highlight the freedom and tolerance of the Allied world, serving as both a thrilling manhunt and a potent anti-Nazi propaganda piece.
