The film is Based on a True Story, and tells the story of war hero Jan Baalsrud, who made it out of Norway alive after a failed attempt to smuggle weapons to the Norwegian resistance movement during World War II. Their primary goal was to blow up the airport at Bardufoss in the county of Troms. All of his crew members were shot, and Baalsrud himself escaped, severely wounded, and developed gangrene in his feet, as well as snow blindness. Nevertheless, he was helped over the border to Swedish Lapland, where he rejoined the resistance fight. The movie tells the story of this hazardous escape. It is considered one of the most epic movies ever made in Norway.

All There in the Manual: The Book of the Film, of course. The fact that the actual goal for the operation is Bardufoss airport, is never stated in the film.

Based on a True Story: Jan Baalsrud wrote a book of his experience, which Arne Skouen used for good measure, as well as advice from Baalsrud himself. The beginning of the movie lampshades it by stating that Baalsrud got a lot of help, but the people who helped him were so many that the movie was unable to record them all. Therefore, a couple like Agnes and Martin are composite characters.
