Stoßtrupp Gold (1970)
Der 1970 veröffentlichte Kriegsfilm Stoßtrupp Gold (Originaltitel: Kelly’s Heroes) erzählt die Geschichte des degradierten US-Soldaten Kelly (Clint Eastwood), der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs im besetzten Frankreich von einem deutschen Goldschatz im Wert von 16 Millionen Dollar erfährt. Unterstützt von einer unkonventionellen Truppe – darunter der zynische Sergeant Big Joe (Telly Savalas) und der hippiehafte Panzerkommandant Oddball (Donald Sutherland) – bricht er hinter die feindlichen Linien auf, um die Bank in Claremont auszurauben. Während ein eitler Generalmajor den privaten Raubzug fälschlicherweise für eine strategische Großoffensive hält und hinterherrückt, gelingt der Truppe der Einbruch nach einer überraschenden Kooperation mit der deutschen Panzerbesatzung. Der Film bricht bewusst mit klassischen Kriegsfilm-Konventionen und entlarvt den Krieg stattdessen als absurde Farce, in der Soldaten rein aus kapitalistischem Eigennutz handeln.
