The stakes were never higher or more dangerous for Eric Erickson, an American businessman turned Swedish oil trader. Erickson finds his life and fortunes held hostage when he’s blackmailed by British agents and forced into the perilous arena of World War II espionage. Based on a true story and brilliantly played by William Holden, this taut, real-life spy thriller brings you to the frontline of World War II. Spectacularly filmed in Berlin, Hamburg, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, The Counterfeit Traitor transports you to the center of one of the world’s greatest conflicts. (Via Vision Entertainment)
