This is a Norwegian film (although there is a lot of English spoken throughout). It’s a true story that occurred in 1981 where Americans and Norwegians teamed up to build an oil pipeline into Norway. There’s an accident, tensions flare, and a deep conspiracy is uncovered that goes to the highest levels of government involving money and control of the oil.
I had no idea anything like this had occurred. Some of the story even stretches credibility with all the crazy things that happened but, at least according to Wikipedia, most of the film’s big facts are accurate.
It’s a really well-made film. The diving scenes in particular are beautifully shot and the acting is top notch throughout. Recommended to anyone who likes a mix of “The Abyss” and “All the President’s Men”.
