Soldier of Orange (Dutch: Soldaat van Oranje, IPA: [sɔlˈdaːt fɑn oːˈrɑɲə]), released in the United Kingdom as Survival Run,[1] is a 1977 Dutch romantic war thriller film directed and co-written by Paul Verhoeven and produced by Rob Houwer, based on Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema's autobiographical book of the same name. Starring Rutger Hauer and Jeroen Krabbé, the film is set around the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II, and shows how individual students have different roles in the war.

With a budget of ƒ 5 million (€2.3 million), it was, at the time, the most expensive Dutch film ever. With 1,547,183 viewers, Soldier of Orange was the most popular Dutch film of 1977.[2] The film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980.[3] At the 1999 Netherlands Film Festival, it was voted the second-best Dutch film of the twentieth century.

In 1979, the film was edited into a miniseries and aired on TV as Voor Koningin en Vaderland.[4][5]
