Cast
Plot
A high octane action - and not far from historically accurate - pic glorifying the role of Norwegian Resistance fighter Max Manus in his battle against the evil Nazi empire. We follow our likeable hero from the 1940 winter war against the Soviets in Finland through to the 1945 defeat of the Bosch. We observe his guilt at his own survival while his mates are killed in the struggle and, we learn of his own high risk manoeuvres - the mining of two German ships being a classic set piece.
