633 Squadron of the RAF is tasked with an operation that is vital to the Allied invasion of France. They need to destroy a German base in Norway that is producing fuel for German rockets. It is an incredibly dangerous mission: due to where it is situated, getting to the base will require daring and precise flying and then there's the hordes of anti-aircraft batteries. The Norwegian Resistance are tasked with taking out the AA guns but if anything goes wrong with the plan it will be a suicide mission.
Entertaining. Good action scenes, decent plot, wonderful footage of one of the most beautiful and impressive aircraft of WW2, the De Havilland Mosquito. The sub-plot involving the Norwegian Resistance was interesting too.
Not brilliant though. Some plot developments are not very plausible, the romantic sub-plot was half-baked and unnecessary, character development is token. More a gung ho, action-based war movie than a gritty, realistic one.
Still, very watchable and is never dull.
