Synopsis:

With an all star cast, including Rupert Grint and David Kross (The Reader), Cross Of Honour, is a heroic tale of friendship, war and the fight for survival. At the beginning of World War II a hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness leaves two aircrafts, one British, one German, shot down in a romote and isolated region. By strange coincidence the crews seek shelter in the same cabin. They must battle to survive the brutal winter in order to get back to the war and to fighting one another. Although war has made them enemies, as the days go by animosity proves hard to maintain. Mutual need leads to unlikely friendships, and the rules of war must be put aside.

INTO THE WHITE is inspired by real events that took place during World War II. A hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness leaves two aircraft - one British, one German - shot down in a remote and isolated region. By strange coincidence the crews seek shelter in the same cabin. They must battle to survive the brutal winter in order to get back to the war - and to fighting one another. Although war has made them enemies, as the days go by animosity proves hard to maintain. Mutual need leads to unlikely friendships, and the rules of war must be put aside. War is, after all, absurd.

The film is based on a true story. On 27 April 1940, Luftwaffe pilot Horst Schopis' bomber, a Heinkel 111 (1H+CT) is shot down near Grotli by an RAF Blackburn Skua (L2940) fighter, which then crash-lands. The surviving German and English crew members begin to shoot each other, but later find themselves huddled up in the same cabin. In order to survive the harsh winter in the Norwegian wilderness, they have to stand together. An unlikely, lifelong friendship blossoms.
