PRODUCT DESCRIPTION DVD Special Features: Interactive menus Scene access Audio: English (mono) English hard of hearing subtitles Aspect ratio: 4:3 FROM AMAZON.CO.UK This 1976 adventure story set in World War II concerns a Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill from his retreat--or murder him if need be. The large, great cast and a director, John Sturges, who's been down this road of ensemble action before (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) make this project exciting if not as memorable as Sturges' more famous works. The weak ending doesn't help. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com FROM THE BACK COVER A Nazi strike force plot to assassinate Winston Churchill while he is resting in a desolate Norfolk village. Colonel Radl (Robert Duvall) masterminds the plot which, if successful, would change the outcome of the war. He enlists the help of Colonel Steiner (Michael Caine) and Liam Devlin (Donald Sutherland). Disguised as Polish airmen, German paratroopers land in England. Radl's plans appear to be going smoothly until an unforseeable incident exposes the Germans. But the kidnap continues and Steiner, Luger in hand, approaches the unmistakable figure of Churchill... The action and suspense are unrelenting in this World War II thriller based on Jack Higgins' best-seller. See more
