Narvik: Hitler's First Defeat

ActionAdventureDramaFamilyWar108 min

In April 1940, a Norwegian soldier returns to Narvik as German forces descend on the small northern port, whose iron ore is crucial to Hitler’s war machine, and finds the fighting has reached both the front and his home. Kristine Hartgen and Carl Martin Eggesbø lead a story that moves between the town’s civilians and the brutal winter battles surrounding it. As the conflict stretches across two months, Narvik becomes the center of an international struggle—and the site of what history remembers as Hitler’s first defeat.
