Synopsis

They took my country from me...
And now I want it back! I am Max Manus...
And this is my story

How far would you go to liberate your country from an aggressor that has seized control?

During World War II Nazi Germany pushes northwards and invades Norway. However occupation of Norway is going to run far from smoothly for the Nazis who have seized power as one man dares to fight back!

MAX MANUS MAN OF WAR is an explosive, adrenaline pumping thrill-ride from start to finish, as the incredible true story of Max Manus, portrayed by Aksel Hennie, unfolds. The defiant leader of the irrepressible 'Oslo Gang', masterminds an urban guerrilla war against occupying Nazi Germany, which ultimately helps free their country from the grip of Nazi Germany and establishes Max as a living legend.

Stunning visual effects combine with an engrossing, absorbing and uniquely moving storyline that will leave you in no doubt that this is one of the greatest war movies of all time.
