The film begins with Max Manus, a Norwegian resistance fighter, returning from the Finnish Winter War against the Soviet Union in 1940. Inspired by the bravery and determination of the Finns, Manus decides to join the Norwegian resistance movement to fight against the German occupation of his homeland.

As Manus becomes heavily involved in the resistance, the film depicts his daring acts of sabotage, intelligence gathering, and guerrilla warfare against the Nazi forces. Together with his comrades, including friend and fellow resistance fighter Gregers Gram, Manus carries out numerous missions, targeting German soldiers, infrastructure, and supply lines.

As the war rages on, Manus struggles to balance his dangerous activities with his love for Tikken, who, alongside other civilians, chooses to support the resistance in their own ways.

As the war nears its end, Manus finds himself facing his biggest challenge yet: helping to plan and execute a major operation to sink the German battleship Tirpitz, which is stationed in a Norwegian fjord. This operation, named Operation Obviate, requires meticulous planning, deadly precision, and utmost bravery.

The climax of the film unfolds with the audacious attack on the Tirpitz, showcasing the heroism of the Norwegian resistance fighters as they risk everything to strike a blow against the Nazi regime.

In the aftermath of the war, Manus struggles to adapt to peacetime. The film explores the psychological toll of war and the difficulties faced by veterans as they attempt to reintegrate into society. Despite the challenges, Manus finds solace in sharing his experiences through public speaking and writing, ultimately becoming a symbol of heroic resistance in Norway.

Max Manus: Man of War is a thrilling and emotional portrayal of a man's indomitable spirit and his unwavering dedication to freedom during one of the darkest periods in European history.
