On the Night of the Fire (sh. U noći požara), u SAD distribuiran pod naslovom The Fugitive (sh. Bjegunac) je britanski crno-bijeli filmski triler snimljen 1939. godine u režiji Briana Desmonda Hursta. Predstavlja adaptaciju istoimenog romana F. L. Younga. Protagonist, čiji lik tumači Ralph Richardson, je siromašni brijač koga dugovi prema zelenašu (čiji lik tumači Henry Oscar) potaknu da iskoristi priliku i ukrade novac iz lokalne tvornice. Radnja prikazuje kako ga zelenaš, kada shvati odakle je došao novac, počne dodatno ucjenjivati, a zbog čega ga brijač na kraju ubije. On the Night of the Fire se isticao inzistiranjem na realizmu, te je sniman na lokacijama u Newcastleu. Publika ga nakon premijere, međutim, nije prihvatila, a što se tumačilo nedavnim izbijanjem Drugog svjetskog rata i željom za laganom eskapističkom zabavom, a što Hurstov film, zbog svog mračnog karaktera nije mogao pružiti. Kasniji kritičari su, međutim, izuzetno hvalili njegovu atmosferu i stil koji se uspoređivao sa kasnijim američkim film noirima.
