1940, Norway. British and German airmen survive a crash landing and are stuck together in a tiny hunting hut in a middle of a huge blizzard http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876277/

Here is a historical excerpt from Wikipedia:

In 1974, L2940 was recovered from Breidalsvatnet lake, near Grotli in Skjåk municipality in Norway. Captain R. T. Partridge (RM) shot down a Heinkel He 111 and then made an emergency landing on the ice-covered lake on 27 April 1940. Survivors from both aeroplanes independently made their way to a mountain lodge, where they encountered each another. This incident serves as the basis for the film Into the White.[SUP][13][/SUP]
