Where Eagles Dare

In 1944, an American General (Robert Beatty) is shot down over a heavily defended German fortress and imprisoned within. A rescue attempt is at once launched by British Intelligence because the General has detailed information about the Allied force's plans for an invasion of France. As the mission unfolds, however, double and triple agents begin to appear in the ranks of the rescue team with the added mystery of an American Lieutenant (Clint Eastwood) assigned to the mission for reasons unknown. "Do me a favor, will you? Next time you have one of these things, keep it an all-British operation."
