Age of Heroes is a 2011 British war film directed by Adrian Vitoria and stars Sean Bean, Danny Dyer, and Izabella Miko. The story is loosely based on the formation of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando unit, which was a precursor to the elite forces in the U.K. during World War II.
The movie follows the journey of a young Sergeant Jack Jones (played by Danny Dyer), who is tasked with assembling a crack team of soldiers for a top-secret mission. His team is made up of a diverse group of soldiers, including a Welsh explosives expert, a cockney thief, a Scottish sniper, and a former Olympic athlete.
Their mission is to parachute into Norway and destroy a Nazi facility that is producing heavy water, which is a key element in nuclear weapon production. They must overcome extreme weather, lack of supplies, and deadly encounters with the enemy to complete their mission.
The film focuses on the struggles the team goes through as they learn to work together, trust each other, and overcome personal hardships. The film shows the gritty reality of war and the courage and sacrifices of the soldiers involved.
Overall, Age of Heroes is an action-packed war film that pays tribute to the unsung heroes of World War II and the formation of the elite forces in the U.K. It is a must-watch for fans of war movies who enjoy a good mixture of action and drama.
