It was inspired by the true story but made few changes in script to look dissimilar to other similar plot movies. But still people are comparing it to movies like 'No Man's Land' and 'Hell in the Pacific'. This Norwegian movie had international cast. A couple English and a trio Germans. It was almost an English language movie, except in few parts where German soldiers speak German.Unlike other fictional stories this movie was breathtaking. The whole movie was shot in a wooden cabin which located in the snow covered no man's land. That setting reminded me the Charles Chaplin's 'The Gold Rush'. Don't mistake it as a pure war movie, it was a drama with a backdrop of second world war. You can see only men with a soldier's suit and guns which they never use it.This movie tells the certain parts of the story that happened back in 1940. The filmmakers chose to tell only the drama parts, but I wanted the rest of the story. Like when they were taken back to the nearby English soldier camp what happen to the German prisoners. Of course they said it in words during before the end credits roll up. But I am eager to see it in a movie because I love movies.I think Rupert Grint had a good role other than he had in the Harry Potter series or any other recent his movies. The rest of the guys were also given their solid performances, especially Germans cast and their characters were so diverse. It was an unbelievable true story, glad to know it through this fine movie. All the thanks to the cast and crew for this wonderful drama.

i just saw this film recently as i am a huge action fan i expected mass action and i also like few war films but this was amazing experience i have to say i loved it and its quite possibly the best film ever made on war and survival.it is based on the real events happened in world war 2 era i would not go into the detail that what actually happened but i can guarantee that this film is totally accurate.the plot:British and German soldiers shot each others plane down in Norway during the events of second world war,it is winter and extreme cold after having confronting each other these enemies realize they have to work together to survive the extreme weather conditions.the cast:i liked everyone in the film they all did best the British soldiers,as for the German i remember Florian Lukas i saw him in don 2 2011 with Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan.there is everything here you need in a great movie i am surprised that there is no Oscar for this,its got good dialogs,story,acting,suspense and above all great direction and team work it clearly shows here the director did it all hats of to Petter Naess.i was enjoying every scene specially the hostage situation of British soldiers until they take Germans hostage and then they became friends they were caring for each other so much all that hatred and talks of politics and other issues were nothing for them there they were just pure humans in need.overall into the white 2012 is truly one of the best films ever made it shows that humanity is above all soldiers are humans too.My Rating For This Film Is 10/10 A Must See Film Highly Recommended

I am at a loss to understand how this Petter Naess masterpiece didn't merit a single nomination by the Academy. Perhaps the Academy's Nominations Coordinator was a former member of the Wehrmacht who couldn't fathom the concept of a Nazi soldier demonstrating warmth.Into the White is the story of the crew of a British and a German fighter plane, each of which crash-lands in the Norwegian tundra. In the midst of a blizzard, the five surviving soldiers (two British; three German) clamor for shelter and quickly find themselves sharing tight quarters in a nearby abandoned cabin.The soldiers' blood-lust quickly wanes in the absence of a windshield and airspace. The tension is palpable. Will they kill each other or will humanity prevail? This question will keep you from so much as a bathroom break; Into the White is a cinematic page-turner and its conclusion does not disappoint.While all five actors were excellent, Florian Lukas (Lieutenant Schopis) was superb. Schopis is the quintessential ranking German officer, cool and methodical. As resources become scarce and the situation deteriorates, Lukas does a phenomenal job of exposing the cracks in Schopis' emotional armor until either morality or duty to country must prevail.Into the White is a beautiful film. So rarely does one come across a movie combining such fine acting, cinematography and suspense. I will be on the lookout for future Naess flicks. Hopefully his handiwork will be met with greater recognition in the future.

In World War II, the German pilots Lieutenant Horst Schopis (Florian Lukas), Josef Schwartz (David Kross) and Wolfgang Strunk (Stig Henrik Hoff) crash their airplane in the wilderness of Norway after shooting down a British airplane.They walk through a snow storm until they reach shelter in an abandoned hunter cabin. Soon the British pilot Captain Charles P. Davenport (Lachlan Nieboer) and the gunner Robert Smith (Rupert Grint) arrive in the cabin and they become prisoners of the German pilots. However, after the initial friction between the enemies, they realize that they should team-up to survive in the wilderness in the beginning of an improbable friendship."Into the White" is based on the true story of German and British pilots that crash in the mountains of Norway in the winter and in order to survive, they conclude that they need to work together. In the end, we are all equals and the enemies become friends. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Entre Inimigos" ("Among Enemies")
