Liberty Studios announces the theatrical release of their newest production, WALKING WITH THE ENEMY. The powerful new film, inspired by a true story, will open in theaters across the United States on April 25th. The engaging and moving story follows the heroic lives of a world leader and a young man swept up in the horrors of World War II. The two men are from Hungary–a country and German ally that had been spared the atrocities orchestrated by Hitler throughout much of Europe.
As the war reaches its climax, Germany begins to doubt the loyalties of the Hungarian leadership-in particular Regent Horthy (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley). The Regent tries to navigate his country between the growing terror of Nazi Germany and the oppressive threat of communist Russia. He is ultimately faced with ceding power to another political party or accepting the execution of his son.
As the crisis unfolds, thousands of his citizens are forced underground or put into ghetto — among them, Elek Cohen (played by Jonas Armstrong), a young man who is separated from his family. Determined to find them, Elek is aided by the woman he loves (Hannah Tointon) as he disguises himself as a Nazi SS officer and discovers the truth of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” In a race against time to save his family and thousands of his countrymen, he embarks on a journey filled with suspense and danger. An inspirational film of love, war, and sacrifice, WALKING WITH THE ENEMY is an unforgettable experience for audiences.
