A tense, procedural war film about a daring commando mission to destroy an enemy battleship, balancing tactical ingenuity with the human cost of wartime operations.

In World War II, the greatest threat to the British navy is the German battleship Tirpitz. While anchored in a Norwegian fjord, it is impossible to attack by conventional means, so a plan is hatched for a special commando unit to attack it, using midget submarines to plant underwater explosives.
