Seconds is a 1966 science fiction film directed by John Frankenheimer. This black and white film fits into a series of films in which he managed to create a kind of hyperrealism. In films such as The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and Seven Days in May (1964) he also did this.

Lead actor Rock Hudson decides to trade in his well-paid but boring office job for a whole new life. A secret organization offers him a second chance by offering him a whole new identity and an alternative life. But is this the solution to his problems?

The film is beautifully filmed and raises many life questions. Rock Hudson plays a very good leading role and later the question was raised whether the film did not contain (partly) autobiographical elements. In the cinema the film was only a moderate success, but over the years the film has received more and more appreciation.

In the Netherlands the film was released in cinemas as: De Tweede Man. In Spain the film was called Plan Diabólico, in Italy Operazione Diabolica and in France L'Opération Diabolique.
