Saboteurs (Saboteur) is a 1942 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Unjustly accused of sabotage in a factory where he works, Barry Kane manages to escape the police to hunt down the real saboteur, a certain Fry.
While on the run, Kane finds himself in the hut of a blind man, who introduces him to his niece, Patricia Martin; initially the woman pretends to trust him, but later tries to take him to the police. However, Patricia soon becomes convinced of Kane's innocence.
The two chase the real saboteur; transported by a caravan loaded with circus performers they arrive in an uninhabited salt city and, later, to a benefit party in a wealthy New York house, to finally reach the top of the Statue of Liberty. Despite the protagonist's efforts to help him, the culprit will fall on deaf ears, but at least Barry will manage to prove his innocence.
This is another subject with which Hithcock wants to put his talent at the service of the fight against Nazism: while he was working on the film, the attack on Pearl Harbor took place that forced the US to go to war.
