Out of ammunition, and with three enemy soldiers advancing on him, Rains prepares to cut his own throat. The Germans catch up to Rains and Steinar retreating Steinar is shot and killed. Those who remain at the farm are last seen firing on and suppressing the Germans. He orders Rains and Steinar to run for the border, while two others stay to cover them.
Major Jones realizes that there are too many German soldiers pouring into the fire fight. Jensen and radar specialist Roger Rollright ( John Dagleish) are ordered to make a run for the Swedish border, while the rest of the commandos provide cover for them. The commandos refuse, and instead open fire on the Germans. The Germans urge the commandos' surrender in exchange for the life of their captured comrade.
To make things worse, the Germans catch up with them at the farm, bringing Corporal Brightling ( Stephen Walters), who was captured alive during the earlier fire fight. Its inhabitants had been shot by German units for aiding the British commandos. With the Germans desperate to hunt them down and stop them, the commandos realise how important their mission is to the war effort.Īfter a long trek in the snow, the commandos try to resupply by returning to a previously visited farm. Their plan is thrown into crisis when their extraction is delayed and they must fight their way to the border of neutral Sweden.
The mission objective bears much resemblance to Operation Biting. All their lethal commando skills are put to the test as they attempt to escape fierce gun battles and attain the German radar technology. The newly formed band of brothers are joined in their task by Norwegian immigrant Steinar Mortensen ( Aksel Hennie), now a US Marine Lieutenant with vital knowledge of the terrain, and beautiful spy Jensen ( Izabella Miko). Rains and the rest of the platoon are put through intensive training under the watchful eye of Major Jack Jones ( Sean Bean), where their skills and endurance are pushed to the limit as they prepare for their first highly classified and dangerous mission: to parachute into occupied Norway and capture new radar technology from the Germans which could change the outcome of the war. The film follows the exploits of Corporal Bob Rains ( Danny Dyer) as he is inducted into the newly formed 30 Commando unit in the Second World War, after being freed from a war prison for cowardice and striking an officer during operations in France.
