Plot

In this gripping tale of wartime intrigue, Robert Cummings takes on the role of Barry Kane, an everyday worker at a Los Angeles aircraft factory. When his world is disrupted by a devastating firebomb executed by a covert Nazi agent, Barry finds himself falsely accused of the horrific act of sabotage. With his name shrouded in suspicion and his freedom at stake, Barry embarks on a frantic, high-octane journey across the American landscape, chasing justice from the formidable Boulder Dam to the iconic Radio City Music Hall, culminating at the towering peak of the Statue of Liberty. Thrusted into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase, Barry tirelessly follows cryptic trails, all leading him to New York City. His mission: to unveil a treacherous cabal of saboteurs, veiled behind the mask of respectability, led by the deceptively unassuming Charles Tobin. Amid the chaotic whirlwind of his cross-country pursuit, Barry finds an unlikely ally in Pat Martin, who becomes an essential partner in his desperate quest to avert another catastrophic act of sabotage. As the plot thickens, they zero in on their primary target, Frank Frye, the true perpetrator of the calamitous attack on the aircraft factory. With each beat of this riveting saga, tension amplifies, propelling towards a heart-stopping confrontation that tests the limits of courage and conviction. Hitchcock's first foray with an all-American cast, Saboteur masterfully orchestrates a symphony of suspense, escalating towards a crescendo of thrilling climax. This film not only stands as a testament to Hitchcock's cinematic genius but remains a classic in the realm of suspense thrillers, with its relentless pace and mesmerizing plot twists.
