All The Great War Movie Classic Themes On "5" Different CD's
|
During World War II, American General George Carnaby, with full knowledge of the
forthcoming D-Day landings in Normandy, is captured when his plane is shot down.
A special team of mainly British commandos is hurriedly assembled and briefed by
Colonel Wyatt Turner and Admiral Rolland of MI6. It is led by Major John Smith, MC,
and US Army Ranger Lieutenant Morris Schaffer and their mission is to parachute into
Germany, somehow infiltrate the castle known as the Schloss Adler (The Castle of the
Eagles - hence the title of the story), the headquarters of the German Secret Service
in Southern Bavaria, where the General is being held and either rescue or kill him.
Known only by Smith, they are accompanied on the plane by a British female agent,
Mary Elison. Soon after they arrive in Bavaria, however, it becomes apparent that
things are not as they seem and there is an ulterior purpose to the mission.
Somewhere, somehow, someone amongst the Allies is going to turn out to be a traitor.
There's also a neat plot twist in store when the commandoes manage to reach the American
general — which leads to yet another twist. The vertigo-inducing climax has made Where
Eagles Dare one of the most sought-after of "early" Eastwood starring features.
