When a mysterious investigator arrives searching for a vanished Nazi war criminal, suspicion slowly tightens around a respected high-school teacher whose calm exterior masks a terrifying past. As shadows lengthen and trust erodes, the film builds toward an unforgettable climax that proves evil can blend in—and even thrive—behind a friendly smile. Taut, suspenseful, and morally urgent, The Stranger remains one of classic Hollywood’s most unsettling thrillers, featuring iconic noir imagery, a legendary clock-tower finale, and a rare post-war confrontation with the horrors of fascism. A gripping reminder that some of the most dangerous monsters don’t lurk in the dark—they live right next door.
