Synopsis
The Saboteurs (Kampen om tungtvannet, 2015), Season 1 is a Norwegian war drama you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes set around the Vemork plant that fed Hitler's bomb programme.
This single season tells the story from four angles at once. In Germany, physicist Werner Heisenberg pushes his reactor and demands more heavy water. In Britain, Leif Tronstad puts together the Grouse advance team and then the Gunnerside raiders. February 1943: nine Norwegians ski down the Hardangervidda plateau toward Vemork to destroy the production line. Meanwhile the head of Norsk Hydro tries to keep his company alive without being branded a collaborator. Late on, the Germans plan to ship the stockpile to the Reich, and the Allies move again.
Built on one of the boldest sabotage missions of the Second World War, it stars Tobias Santelmann and Anna Friel. The pull here is cold logistics and hard choices, not spectacle. Stream The Saboteurs Season 1 online on iFILM.
