The wikipedia gives some more pertinent detailsConvicted as a traitor by the Norwegian government, Arne Treholt is an enigmatic character in the annals of European Cold War espionage. This quirky offering adds a satirical layer to his tale, imagining Treholt as the leader of a secret ninja force.
2010 action-comedy Norwegian Ninja (Norwegian: Kommandør Treholt & ninjatroppen) created a fake "secret history" of the affair: Treholt was commander of a secret team of ninjas that fought enemies of the state on orders from the King of Norway, and that their centre-left political views lead to Operation Gladio framing them for treason.
I don't even know what to say about this. Props to the fim makers for working Operation Gladio into the plot. How many comedies can make that claim!
