In the context of World War II, a group of British pilots faces the most dangerous mission of their lives: to destroy a powerful missile plant in Norway that threatens to change the course of the conflict. Led by the charismatic and brave squadron commander, Lieutenant Jim “Popeye” O'Reilly, these valiant aviators must navigate not only the dangers posed by the enemy but also the harsh Scandinavian terrain and its exhausting weather conditions.
As the squadron prepares for the mission, time becomes their greatest enemy as they must act before the enemy completes their military development. With the help of an intelligence team, the squadron devises a plan that combines boldness and determination, challenging conventions and testing the limits of their machines and their courage. However, as they get ready for the attack, internal tensions and doubts arise among the squadron members, forcing them to confront their own fears and the reality of what is at stake.
Facing enemy fighters and the challenges of nature, it becomes a race against time, where every second counts. What begins as a combat mission transforms into a moving tale of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of those who fight for a better future, as the skies fill with explosions and the squadron's fate hangs by a thread.
