Hudson plays a Canadian officer who is shanghaied into joining the daring raid, while Peppard plays the determined leader of the German-Jewish unit, battling Allied prejudice along with enemy fire. Directed by Arthur Hiller, this suspense-packed adventure against all odds climaxes in one of the most spectacular fiery finales ever to hit the screen.
