Om denne filmen

The mission is clear. Get in. Get the general. Get out. Commandos charged with freeing a U.S. general from an Alpine fortress should also be told to trust nothing -- including the search-and-rescue orders just issued.

Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood go Where Eagles Dare in this twisty World War II thriller written by action master Alistair MacLean (The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra) and directed by Brian G. Hutton (Kelly's Heroes). Known for fiery dramatic roles, Burton ventures into the realm of movie pyrotechnics with dynamic efficiency. And Eastwood's cool-fire presence heightens one searing action sequence after another.

This is one of my all time favourite ww2 films. Im an 80s child and dispite its age, this film is a classic. Awesome theme tune. Unlike most modern films, this film leaves you believing these things actually happened rather than films where the heroes go through twenty scenes of over the top impossible situations. A gripping heroic story and a true memorial to all those who served to save europe from Nazi Germany.

I have been entertained by the film more tomes than I dare admit, but I always look for fatal flaws in the script, i.e. when Schaffer is knocked unconscious, they had the ace cards and could have made for the door which schaffer afterwards locked

Classic ww2 film. ...great book as well ...burton and Eastwood are brilliant ..the plot is amazing the action is non stop ...why are modern films so driven by constant unrealiatic action sequences ....the balance is perfect here ...one of the best films ever made and great plot twists. ....
