The story follows Manus from the Winter War against the Soviet Union, through the outbreak of World War II and the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany until peacetime in 1945. The film is based on Max Manus's own books Det vil helst gå godt and Det blir alvor, as well as other accounts and historical documentation. The film stays largely historically accurate, but omits some events, and moves some of the supporting characters around to show them taking part in events in place of others. The production included around 1,800 extras and 2,000 workers behind the cameras. ## Credits - **Director:** [Joachim Rønning](https://cinepixo.com/people/joachim-r-nning), [Espen Sandberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/espen-sandberg) - **Screenplay:** [Thomas Nordseth-Tiller](https://cinepixo.com/people/thomas-nordseth-tiller) - **Original Music Composer:** [Trond Bjerknæs](https://cinepixo.com/people/trond-bjerkn-s) - **Producer:** [John M.
