With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for history and war-film fans and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to The Dirty Dozen.
- The mood
- Tense, intense.
- The pace
- Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- It's long: 2 hr 36 min.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
In November of 1939, the British consulate in Norway receives documents saying that the Nazis are conducting secret rocket research in Peenemünde. But the British doubt the authenticity of the so called "Oslo report". Thus, the Germans continue their experiments unimpeded. At the same time, resistance groups from France, England, Poland, and Germany try to find and to sabotage the secret Nazi research base. When the first "V 2" rocket is successfully launched, the Allied commanders finally become interested in the "Oslo report".
