Three years after he made 'The Dirty Dozen', Robert Aldrich returned to the theme of war and not only produced and directed but wrote the story and screenplay for this action-packed adventure epic, featuring reluctant heros and a stunning climax!
It is WWII, November 1942 and the U.S launches a major naval offensive in the South Pacific. To ensure battle plans remain secret, a Japanese radio installation must be destroyed and so American naval officer (Cliff Robertson) is ordered by his commander (Henry Fonda) to join a squad of British misfits on a suicide mission to take out the facility. Michael Caine is one of the misfits - a cynical soldier who'd just as likely shoot his commanding officer as obey him. However, when the ragtag band learn of secret Japanese plans, what began as a simple suicide mission becomes a war.

klassieke oorlogsfilm
Een sterke oorlogsfilm, voor mij persoonlijk alleen al de moeite waard omdat Micahel Caine erin Speelt. De regisseur maakte voor deze film een andere klassieke oorlogsfilm, the Dirty Dozen, en beide films tonen gelijkenissen. ook hier wordt een groep onwillige soldaten op een zelfmoordmissie gestuurd. Hoewel minder bekend dan zijn voorganger, verdient deze film zeker een plaats in de DVD collectie.
