The Dirty Dozen
The hardest part about a suicide mission is getting depressed enough about your life to go on it.
Unfortunately, for the condemned men in this war movie, they don't have a choice.
Recruited by Major Reisman (Lee Marvin) for a mission to France to infiltrate a château hosting high-ranking German officers, the death-row inmates (Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, John Cassavetes, Jim Brown, Telly Savalas, Trini Lopez) must first be trained before heading behind enemy lines.
If they make it back from France, their death sentences will be lifted.
But can this rag-tag team pull-off a close quarter confrontation with heavily armed Nazis?
The quintessential men-on-a-mission war movie, this caper comprises the grittiest actors of any era, and lets them run wild over histories vilest villains.
With oddly lovable characters and epic shoot-outs, The Dirty Dozen is mandatory.
In fact, they should use felons for other dangerous jobs, like coal mining.
