More about NR.24

The official synopsis of the movie on IMDb reads:

"Young apprentice Gunnar Sønsteby from Rjukan decides to resist Nazi-Germany on the day of the invasion to later become the leader of the "Oslo-gang" carrying out countless daring acts of sabotage making him Norway's greatest war hero."

The movie is based on the WWII Norwegian saboteur groups, specifically the so-called "Oslogjengen" (The Oslo Gang), led by No. 24. This group conducted operations with other famous Norwegian saboteurs, such as Max Manus, under the same network.

Max Manus, a film released in 2008, tells this story from his perspective. The movie is a retelling of this important part of the history of Norway.
