Didasarkan pada cerita nyata Ian Flemming, penulis cerita James Bond, mengenai pasukan elite Inggris bernama Komando 30. Film ini mengisahkan tentang Kopral Rains seorang anggota Komando 30. Rains dan seluruh anggota pasukan elit tersebut dilatih fisik dan mental hingga titik akhir kemampuan mereka sebagai manusia untuk sebuah misi rahasia yang berbahaya, Rains dan pasukannya akan diterjunkan di pegunungan Norwegia yang dingin dengan parasut untuk menghindari pantauan radar Jerman. Jika mereka berhasil, maka misi ini dapat mengubah peta perang dunia di masa tersebut.
The newly formed band of brothers are joined in their task by Norwegian immigrant Steinar (Aksel Hennie) now a US Marine Lieutenant with vital knowledge of the terrain and beautiful spy Jensen (Izabella Miko).
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
mission objective bears much resemblance to Operation Biting.[3]
Their plan is thrown into crisis when their pick-up is delayed and they
must fight their way to the border of Sweden. With the Nazis desperate
to hunt them down and stop them, the commandos realise how important
their mission is to the war effort, as the fate of the Allies' advance
into Europe rests in their hands.
After a long trek in the snow the commandos try to resupply by
returning to a previously visited farm. Its inhabitants had been shot by
German units after they refused to collaborate with them. To make
things worse, the Germans catch up with them at the farm, bringing with
them a commando captured alive during an earlier fire fight. The Germans
ask for the commandos' surrender in exchange for the life of their
captured friend. The commandos refuse to surrender. They open fire on
the Germans, beginning an intense fire fight. Jensen and radar
specialist Rollright are ordered to run for the Swedish border while the
rest of the commandos provide cover for them.
Eventually Major Jones realizes that there are too many German
soldiers and that the commandos have insufficient ammunition. He orders
Rains and Steinar to run for the border while two others stay to cover
them. Those who remain at the farm are last seen firing on and
suppressing the Germans. The Germans catch up to Rains and Steinar
retreating; Steinar is shot and killed. Out of ammunition, Rains
prepares to use his knife to kill himself so the Germans cannot torture
him. Before he does so, Jensen and Rollright return and enable the three
of them to escape.The last scene shows the two surviving team members and Jensen standing on a hill looking down into Sweden.
