The invasion begins at night, with German cruisers slipping into
harbor, and soon the Nazis occupy all of Norway. They station
soldiers throughout the country. They institute martial rule. And
at Vemork, an industrial fortress high above a dizzying gorge,
they gain access to an essential ingredient for the weapon that
could end World War II: Hitler’s very own nuclear bomb.

When the Allies discover the plans for the bomb, they agree
Vemork must be destroyed. But after a British operation fails to
stop the Nazis’ deadly designs, the task falls to a band of young
Norwegian commandos. Armed with little more than skis,
explosives, and great courage, they will survive months in the
snowy wilderness, elude a huge manhunt, and execute two dangerous
missions. The result? The greatest act of sabotage in all of
World War II.
