Summary:
Kelly's heroes: World War II soldiers learn of a fortune of gold bars that the Germans have stashed in enemy territory, and decide to steal the loot. Where eagles dare: A group of special agents attempting to rescue an Allied general from an impregnable castle is jeopardized by a ruthless German double agent. The Big Red One: Named for the insignia of the First Infantry Division, this World War II combat film (based on Fuller's own war experiences) follows a handful of young GIs and their sergeant as they battle their way from North Africa through Sicily, Omaha Beach and Belgium to the ultimate horror of the concentration camp at Falkenau, Czechoslovakia. The Hanoi Hilton: For most combat soldiers, Vietnam was a battlefield war of guns and grenades. But for thousands of American combatants, the battlefield was a dark, vermin-infested cell in a prison compound like Hoa Lo, or what the POWs called the Hanoi Hilton. Captured Navy pilot Lt. Commander Williamson knows his only defense against torture, disease and despair is an indomitable will.
