The Last Mission - Das Himmelfahrtskommando (2006)
Europa, 1944. In einem verwegenen Versuch, den Zweiten Weltkrieg noch vor Weihnachten zu beenden, starten die Alliierten die Operation 'Market Garden'. 35.000 Mann landen hinter den feindlichen Linien im besetzten Holland. Inmitten der größten Luftlande-Operation der Geschichte hat eine kleine, britische Einheit mit dem Codenamen 'Matchbox' den Sonderauftrag, einen SS-Stützpunkt nahe Arnheim ausfindig zu machen, um von den Deutschen geraubte Kunstschätze wiederzubeschaffen. Doch der Einsatz wird schon in der Startphase zur Katastrophe: Das Flugzeug der Einheit wird abgeschossen, viele Männer finden den Tod. Schließlich bleiben nur sechs britische Soldaten übrig. In den Wirren der Schlacht von Arnheim versuchen sie, ihre letzte Mission zu erfüllen - ein nahezu aussichtsloser Kampf.
