Where Eagles Dare
The mission is clear. Get in. Get the general. Get out. Commandos charged with freeing a U.S. general from an Alpine fortress should also be told to trust nothing including the search-and-rescue orders just issued. Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood go Where Eagles Dare in this twisty World War II thriller written by action master Alistair MacLean (The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra) and directed by Brian G. Hutton (Kelly's Heroes). Known for fiery dramatic roles, Burton ventures into the realm of movie pyrotechnics with dynamic efficiency. And Eastwood's cool-fire presence heightens one searing action sequence after another.
Where Eagles Dare
Oppdraget er tydelig. Kom dere inn. Hent generalen. Kom dere ut. Soldatene som får i oppdrag å befri en amerikansk general fra et fort i alpene, burde også ha fått beskjed om ikke å stole på noen ting - heller ikke ordrene de akkurat fikk.
