The Guns of Navarone
The Greatest High Adventure Ever Filmed!
A taut, classically constructed war-adventure film about a specialized military team executing a dangerous covert operation against overwhelming odds.
A team of allied saboteurs are assigned an impossible mission: infiltrate an impregnable Nazi-held island and destroy the two enormous long-range field guns that prevent the rescue of 2,000 trapped British soldiers.
