With little firewood, they begin chopping up things in the cabin to use. Horst takes Davenport's lighter, which Davenport objects to greatly as it was a gift from his father. Horst promises it will be returned when this is over. The following morning, an attempt to set out for help is abandoned when they start to get separated by the snowstorm, as the weather is clearly too rough.
After returning to the cabin, Smith sees an opportunity and grabs Josef's gun, putting it to Josef's head and forcing the other two to hand over their weapons. The next day, Smith and Strunk go out, hoping to spot some reindeer Smith had seen earlier. They only find (and Smith shoots) a rabbit instead.
Back at the cabin, Davenport orders Horst to chop down what is the main support beam in the middle of the cabin for firewood, despite Horst's objections. Immediately the roof begins to cave in, stopped just in the nick of time by Horst and Davenport standing on two small tables and holding up the roof. Horst takes advantage and takes Davenport's gun. When Smith and Strunk get back, there is a standoff, and both sides agree to a "cease fire" until they can get to safety. They put all of the guns in a box. At this point, tensions have eased as the men get to know each other and realize they must work together to survive. This is aided greatly by Strunk accidentally uncovering a box under the floorboards with supplies, including dried meat and several bottles of alcohol.
Josef's arm gets infected with gangrene and the men realized they must cut it off for him to survive. They get him drunk and cut off the arm, saving his life. At this point the men have become friends, spending the night drinking and talking about each other's lives.
The next day, Smith and Strunk go out on skis found in the cabin to get to a hill and look for the best route to travel. Meanwhile, in a nearby military camp, a Norwegian scout finds the downed German aircraft and a small party of men is dispatched to look for the German airmen. When they encounter Smith and Strunk skiing back downhill towards the cabin, a Norwegian sniper fatally shoots Strunk and they capture Smith. The rest of the men are also captured.
Back at the military camp, a Norwegian officer interrogates the Britons, perceiving them as collaborators with the Germans. Davenport finally snaps, insulting the officer and telling him they were simply trying to survive. Horst then walks in and explains he wants to return Davenport's lighter, which he does. Davenport cannot bring himself to look at Horst as Horst places it on the table.
Horst and Josef are seen being taken away in a canoe to be shipped to a prison camp. Davenport and Smith walk to the edge of the dock, where Davenport and Horst exchange a glance.
The epilogue credits state that eventually, Horst and Schwartz become prisoners of war in Canada. Smith and Davenport are returned to combat action and are shot down in their very next flight, during which Smith is killed. In 1977, Horst gets a call in his Munich home. It is Davenport, who invites Horst to London, where the former enemies meet as friends. (fonte: Wikipedia)… (altro)
