Top 2nd world war plot movie.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2005)

Alistar Maclean, author of the book that the movie is based on, has several highly sophisticated other books acclaiming him as one of the best writers in his genre in the 20th century.
This movie takes place during the 2nd world war before the 2nd allied front is to be aligned and put into action. A group of men is given the assignment to free a kidnapped general (who knows all the details about the 2nd front and might, after drugging, expose them to the Germans) from the most highly guarded castle the Germans got. Set out on this journey they encounter loads of problem, all delicately dealt with of course. The real plot of the movie is not obvious to the most perceptive viewer and really surprised me when it was exposed. This movie is one of the best war movies I have ever, and will ever see.
