It tells the true story of the [Torp hostage crisis](/source/Torp_hostage_crisis) that took place in [Sandefjord, Norway](/source/Sandefjord%2C_Norway). It began on 28 September 1994 and lasted for two days. Two men from Sweden robbed a bank in a small Norwegian town and a large police hunt was initiated. The robbers eventually took two civilians and two police officers hostages. The following morning at [Sandefjord Airport Torp](/source/Sandefjord_Airport_Torp), the hostage drama came to a deadly end when a police chief, for the first time in Norwegian history, gave an order to shoot to kill.<ref>Plassen, Pål Hovengen (November 26, 2004). “Deadline Torp med suksess” (in Norwegian Bokmål).
