A must see movie! The low rating of others is inaccurate. Great plot, good script, great acting, totally engrossing, inspiring & never a dull moment--what more can you ask for? Even though it takes place during WWII, I thought it was especially relevant to our times. We are in a dire moment in our history--the dominance of dis-, mis- & mal-information, the broken Congress inhabited by some Nazi's, the corrupt Supreme Court, the war in Ukraine, global warming, species extinction, just to mention a few issues of our day. Now more than ever we need to find the courage to stand up to liars & power mongers & this film does that in a most beautiful & artistic way.
Watched via Amazon Prime, this film rates at 4* for a film and 5* for a TV Movie. As a TV Movie, it probably would screen over two evenings at 2 hours a time including adverts. As a low budget film, it is lacking in action.
A radio on the Cote D'Azur with a 50 Km signal range could not be picked up in Lyon.
In 1944, the Cote D'Azur was under Italian occupation. Wehrmacht officers wouldn't have been there at all. They were either shoring up the Eastern Front or preparing the Western Wall in anticipation of the Allied invasion.
In 1944 the Italians were more interested in getting back to Italy. The family could have stayed there indefinitely.

December 1941 , most people lack food , warmth , and medicine. 1942. France is under Nazi control. The Allies have been pushed off the continent and their defeat in North Africa seems likely. Germany's victory is nearly absolute. The government exerts control by restricting travel, information , and freedom of assembly. Radio emerges as one of the most powerful weapons of the war . Leaders sway hearts and minds with potent speeches and propaganda. August 1942, Vichy Police and specially trained units of Gestapo pursue any rogue radio broadcasters with brutal determination . Under threat of death and the dark shadow of tyranny , one voice dares to keep a message of hope alive. Under this shadow, a man named Jacques (Cary Elwes) provides hope and illusion to the unfortunate French people besieged , mistreated and harassed by the ruthless Nazis . So Cary Elwes gives life to Jacques, the voice of a clandestine station that gives hope to the French in the dark hours of Nazi domination . He hides in an attic with his daughter Juliet (Greer Grammer) and a small group of fellow survivors (Judd Hirsch, Mira Furlan), playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the German occupiers. The world becomes too dangerous when the Gestapo send Captain Klaus Jager (Sebastian Roche) to catch Jacques. As Klaus closes in, Jacques and his small group make a desperate bid to escape their pursuer , trusting themselves to the help of enigmatic Andre (Jason Patric), a Swiss banker. In the end, that trust may turn out to be the very thing that leads the hunter to his prey . Together, they try to avoid detection while hoping to be liberated by the Allies, but even meeting basic needs can become a challenge, and even minor incidents could present a grave risk. To protect the broadcast, a group of resisters will put their lives at stake, having to trust someone outside of them to survive. But the hunt has only just begun.
This is a worthwhile film paying cinematic tribute to "The Diary of Anne Frank" and other films about the brave resistance againt the cruel Nazis . Dealing with a small group of dissident survivors who caught behind enemy lines ,struggle to remain hidden from the Nazis as they use a radio to broadcast a message of hope. This is a nice thriller set in occupied France in 1943 with a terrible game of cat and mouse between the Nazis with a group of resistance fighters who give hope to the population. It offers a solid cast, some cheap but very effective settings , and a generally well-considered selection of actors . Stars Cary Elwes as the brave man who uses a radio to broadcast a message of hope , however a new German command well played by Sebastian Roché has arrived with the purpose of silencing it , along with Jason Patric acting as an enigmatic Swiss financer . While Judd Hirsch and Mira Furlan (whom is dedicated the film due a her sudden death) play an unfortunate Jewish marriage , and the newcomer teen Greer Grammer -Kalsey Grammer's daughter- performs pretty well as a valiant young freedom fighter. The motion picture was efficiently and professionally directed by Matthew Hill and Landon Johnson. Rating : 6.5/10. Worthwhile watching . The flick will appeal to WWII buffs.

Set against the grim backdrop of Nazi-occupied France, *Resistance 1942* delivers a gripping narrative of survival and defiance. While the film takes creative liberties with historical accuracy, it successfully captures the emotional weight of resistance during World War II.
Cary Elwes shines as Jacques, a man determined to spread hope through clandestine radio broadcasts, despite the ever-present threat of discovery. His dynamic with his daughter Juliet and their fellow survivors adds depth to the story, making their struggle feel personal and urgent. The tension escalates as Captain Klaus Jager closes in, creating a suspenseful game of cat and mouse.
While some may find the film's approach to the genre familiar, it remains a solid historical drama with a powerful message. The performances, particularly Jason Patric's portrayal of the enigmatic Andre, add layers to the narrative, making it more than just another war film.
Despite its fictional elements, *Resistance 1942* succeeds in delivering an engaging and emotional experience. If you're looking for a film that balances drama, suspense, and a message of resilience, this one is worth watching.

On Amazon the title is changed to "Resistance 1942" - no wonder IMDB didnt have it listed!
A truly boring film where almost nothing happens - until the last half hour or so.
The score on here is hardly worth 3.5.
Dont bother - I wish I hadnt.

- QuizThis production failed to pay the crew for the last week of filming.
- BlooperThe film appears to start in August 1942 in Vichy France. However, the Gestapo are shown as hunting the main character, there are German troops in the factory where his daughter works and there are German tanks (quite convincing Panzer IVs) in the streets. Unfortunately, the Germans did not occupy the Free Zone until November 1942 (for example, Klaus Barbie, the actual head of the Lyon Gestapo, arrived in Lyon in November 1942).
