Sobre este filme

June 5th, 1944... A secret mission is launched prior to the D-Day Invasion. A small elite group of American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines and land right in the lap of the German Infantry. They are outnumbered, unsupported, and racing against the clock. Their sole duty is to stay alive long enough in order to find a strategic location and set up the Top Secret Navigation Equipment needed to guide in the main airborne assault on D-Day. Failure means the lives of thousands. This "elite group of American paratroopers" is a mix of renegades from different military units. They are strangers to one another, thrown together at the last minute, with no time to prepare and with two different Commanding Officers. This is a recipe for disaster. It is a violation of all the rules of warfare and only a miracle is going to make this mission work. Based on actual events. This untold story of these men, their mission and the facts behind it, has remained hidden for over 60 years.

Really wanted this to be a good movie! And though it is an amazing story, it was poorly executed in the film and was hard to follow what was going on. Everything (other than wardrobe/art department) is class b if not C of quality. That includes the audio, camera work, acting, stunts, or even lighting and editing. Do understand the producer and crew worked hard to make everything historically accurate according to how the events actually happened. The wardrobe was well executed and props did fit the era.
