Britain during the Blitz: Stephen Neale is on his way to London after being released from a mental asylum. While he is waiting for his train Neale decides to visit a seemingly innocent village fair. But he soon finds himself caught in the web of a sinister underworld when he receives an item that was meant for a Nazi agent. Fritz Lang’s adaption of Graham Greene’s novel by the same name is an unpredictable thriller, presenting a dark world overshadowed by war and paranoia.
