The movie Against The Ice on Netflix has all the action and danger one might expect. Isn’t it exciting when you hear Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole is teaming up with Game of Thrones Nikolaj Coster-Waldau? They play a pair of Danish explorers, Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen, and his crew member Iver Iversen. It sounds like there’s a lot of action and fighting during their battle for survival in Greenland. The pair are set to do battle with polar bears on screen!
Against the Ice: Cast and Plot!
Probably perfect for the active role required for portraying Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen in Against The Ice. Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau played the charismatic Jaime Lannister in HBO’s fantasy drama Game of Thrones. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s co-star in Against The Ice is BAFTA nominee Joe Cole as crew member Iver Iversen. Icelandic actor Heida Reed, who played Elizabeth Warleggan in the BBC drama Poldark, is also among the cast playing Naja. Also look out for Sam Redford as Laub, Gísli Örn Garðarsson as Jörgensen, Frankie Wilson as Unger, Þorsteinn Bachmann as Amdrup, Diarmaid Murtagh as Poulsen and Nick Jameson as Holm.
Against The Ice is a story of 1909. Also, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays Ejnar Mikkelsen. He’s heading up Denmark’s Alabama Expedition. The crew wants to disprove the United States’ argument that Greenland is two different islands and stop their claim to North-Eastern Greenland. Leaving his ship behind, Mikkelsen treks across the ice with his young, inexperienced crew member Iver Iversen. Although they find proof that Greenland is a single island, returning to the ship is much harder than expected. They started to question themselves: Can they fight to stay alive?
“Against The Ice is an intense exploration of two men, two opposites, trapped in an epic dangerous setting,’ says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
