- "Number 24," Netflix's new World War II movie, has become a big streaming hit shortly after its release in 2025. Directed by John Andreas Andersen, the Norwegian-language film follows the young apprentice Gunnar Sønsteby from Rjukan who resists Nazi Germany on the day of the invasion, becoming the leader of the "Oslo-gang" and carrying out countless courageous acts of sabotage that made him Norway's greatest war hero. The cast includes Sjur Vatne Brean, Erik Hivju, and Philip Helgar, among many more.

Since the 2020s, the streaming service has produced and distributed several original World War II movies. Operation Mincemeat (2021), starring Colin Firth, recounts a real British deception operation that misled Nazi Germany about the Allied invasion plans. Munich: The Edge of War (2022), starring 1917's George MacKay, reimagines Neville Chamberlain's appeasement efforts through the lens of a fictional spy thriller.

Other Netflix original movies have explored the human cost of war, most prominently 2022's German-language All Quiet on the Western Front, though set during World War I, shares many similar themes with World War II movies, portraying the brutal realities of combat. Netflix's The Forgotten Battle (2020) also highlights the pivotal Battle of the Scheldt during World War II, offering multiple perspectives from the Dutch, German, and Allied soldiers. More recently, Tyler Perry's The Six Triple Eight, focusing on an all-black and all-female battalion during World War II, has been a big hit for Netflix.

3. Good deal, me too I'll watch it again. An excellent and timely film! Tx for replying.

2. This is a terrific film. It depicts in detail the horrors of the Nazi occupation

of Norway and the courage and the necessary violence of the resistance. One scene that really struck me was when Sønsteby, by then an old man, is speaking to a group of college students. A girl asks him why they didn't use Gandhi's methods of nonviolence, and he answers, "Gandhi didn't face the Nazis." I can't recommend this film highly enough.

4. Good points, thanks. Very well done, the realism and acting especially.

The nonviolence question scene was very compelling.

5. Have watched both movies

I recommend both movies. I picked up on the 6888 movie in the barbershop. We watched 24 as an item of interest because of my old history reading.
Finally, some “duffer” has directed the AF Academy delete references to the Tuskegee Airmen. Why?
May the folks who think that way, stumble down a long flight of stairs.
I say this because I believe in DEI.

6. Outstanding film

One of the best lessons of the film is that we see the enemy is not always the other. The Norwegians who became Nazis and were even more brutal are an example of how fascism can succeed. Ambitious people only know their own ambitions and we have plenty of that in the US. Beware.
