The remarkable true story of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage comes to life in The Heroes of Telemark, starring Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris. In occupied Norway, a roll of microfilm smuggled from a water factory is the first clue the Allies have that Germany might be ahead in the race to create an atomic weapon. A group of Norwegian resistance fighters bravely attempt to stop the Germans’ plans by destroying ‘heavy water’ installations. Filled with stealth and suspense, and filmed on location in Norway, this engrossing tale is bound to excite. (Via Vision Entertainment)
