Holland, 1940: The German army invades the Netherlands, and a nation suddenly finds itself under Nazi occupation. What follows is one of the most controversial periods in European wartime history as the Dutch are torn between collaboration and resistance. But for six young college students, the choices they make will irreparably change the fate of their homeland as their lives become an epic adventure of courage, betrayal and survival.
Based on the best-selling memoir by Dutch war hero Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, SOLDIER OF ORANGE became the international breakthrough film for director Paul Verhoeven (BASIC INSTINCT , ROBOCOP) and stars Rutger Hauer (TURKISH DELIGHT, BLADERUNNER) and Jeroen Krabbe (THE FOURTH MAN,THE FUGITIVE) and is still considered by critics worldwide to be one of the most powerful war films ever made.
