Night Train to Munich is a 1940 British thriller film directed by Carol Reed and starring Margaret Lockwood and Rex Harrison. Written by Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, based on the 1939 short story Report on a Fugitive by Gordon Wellesley, the film is about an inventor and his daughter who are kidnapped by the Gestapo after the Nazis march into Prague in the prelude to the Second World War. A British secret service agent follows them, disguised as a senior German army officer pretending to woo the daughter over to the Nazi cause.
SYNOPSIS
As German forces invade Czechoslovakia, scientist Axel Bomasch, renowned for his breakthroughs in armor-plating technology, becomes a target for both German and British intelligence agencies. Fleeing with his daughter Anna, their journey is fraught with danger as they navigate through enemy territory. Anna's capture by the Nazis and subsequent escape alongside Karl Marsen, who poses as a sympathetic fellow prisoner, adds to the tension.
Meanwhile, in Britain, Axel's arrival prompts a covert operation led by intelligence officer Dickie Randall. Anna's attempt to contact her father through a coded newspaper advertisement sets off a chain of events that brings her into contact with Randall, who poses as an entertainer to maintain cover. Their paths converge, leading to a daring rescue attempt orchestrated by Randall.
However, Marsen's infiltration of British intelligence complicates matters, leading to a tense confrontation during their escape to Switzerland. With the aid of British civilians Caldicott and Charters, Randall navigates through treacherous terrain, facing off against Marsen and his cohorts in a dramatic showdown that determines the fate of the Bomasches and their quest for freedom.
