Resisting Enemy Interrogation is a 1944 American army training film, directed by Bernard Vorhaus, produced by Ronald Reagan, and written by Harold Medford, that was designed to train U.S. Army Air Forces crews to resist interrogation by the Germans.

The film received an Academy Award nomination for best feature-length documentary for the year 1944.

A production of the Air Force's First Motion Picture Unit, Resisting Enemy Interrogation not only has a suspenseful script but also makes use of all the resources Warner Brothers (Reagan's old studio) can provide. Many of the cast members will be familiar to movie buffs.

Remember, this was not produced for general audiences. It was made specifically for US Airmen to watch before shipping out overseas.
