Underground is a 1941 war, drama, suspense, espionage, propaganda, noir film about the German Nazi Resistance opposing the Nazis in World War II directed by Vincent Sherman. Jeffrey Lynn and Philip Dorn play two brothers initially on opposite sides.
Plot
Kurt Franken returns from his time at the front, minus an arm but still the fervent, patriotic Nazi that he was when he left. His brother, Eric, is high up in the resistance and regularly broadcasts on a secret radio. They argue, at first, but over time Kurt sees things differently. Eric eventually runs afoul of the Gestapo and is scheduled for execution. As he is led to the guillotine, he hears his brother’s voice on loudspeakers positioned through the prison.
