About this movie

Clint Eastwood stars as a disillusioned American World War II private who learns about a fortune in gold bars ... behind German lines. When he leads an offbeat group in a dash through enemy-held territory on a purely selfish quest, he is mistaken for a hero by the military in this dark comedy.

Ratings and reviews

Absolute classic! This movie came out the year I was born, and it has aged ALMOST as well as I have. I even love the stupid song. I just watched it for the eleventy billionth time, only this time was with my 13 year old son, who loved it as well. What else can I tell you? Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas and Don Rickles? Forget about it!

Best story, best characters, best music, best everything. Soldiers hoping for a big payday and Clint Eastwood being charmful with Donald Sutherland being the funniest guy in the whole war.

And they all lived happily ever after . . . .
