That was "The Heroes of Telemark" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059263/ from 1965 staring Kirk Douglas.
Ray Mears documentary from 2003 on the real heroes is excellent. I love Ray Mears.
A few years a big budget TV series was also released "The Saboteurs" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3280150/ It is very good.
> While long celebrated by foreign, particularly British, filmmakers, the exploits of Mr. Ronneberg and nine other Norwegians involved in thwarting the Nazi nuclear project became widely known in Norway only this year, when NRK, the state broadcaster, ran “The Heavy Water War,” a six-episode mini-series that became a national sensation.
