After fighting the Soviets as a volunteer during the Winter War in Finland, Max Manus, haunted by his experiences, returns to Norway, finding it occupied by the Nazis.

After being hospitalised, he manages to escape to Scotland, where he receives British Commando training in sabotage and disinformation.
