The Tunnel Movie Storyline. When a tank truck collides in a tunnel in the ice-cold Norwegian mountains, families, teenagers and tourists on their way home for Christmas are brutally trapped in the darkness. A blizzard is raging outside and the first responders struggle to access the scene of the accident. Time is of the essence, and when the wrecked tanker suddenly catches fire, the situation escalates. In Norwegian tunnels, the self-rescue principle applies: When disaster strikes, it’s every man for himself.
The Tunnel (Norwegian: Tunnelen) is a 2019 Norwegian disaster thriller film directed by Pål Øie. The film follows the bulldozer driver Svein, played by Thorbjørn Harr, during a tunnel fire in a 9 kilometer long road tunnel.
