Hell Is for Heroes (1962)
De jonge sterren Steve McQueen, Bobby Darin en Fess Parker spelen een leger-eskadron dat hopeloos in de minderheid is in Hell is For Heroes, een strak geregisseerde en explosieve film onder regie van Don Siegel. Het is herfst 1944 en de Nazi strijdkrachten langs de Siegfriedlinie hebben de overhand, de fortificaties en de vuurkracht om een doorbraak te doen. En een handvol dienstplichtigen hebben weinig meer dan een koppige vastbeslotenheid en het vernuft om de Duitsers voor de gek te houden zodat ze denken dat zij een grote speciale eenheid van de geallieerden vertegenwoordigen. Maar kunnen zijn deze list volhouden totdat de versterkingen uiteindelijk komen?
