Raid on Rommel
He took o Rommel...the Sahara...and a unit of untrained me to blow the Desert Fox to Hell.
A WWII commando action film that pairs military spectacle with the friction between a hardened soldier and a pacifist conscientious objector, balancing combat tension with character-driven humor.
Captain Foster plans on raiding German-occupied Tobruk with hand- picked commandos, but a mixup leaves him with a medical unit led by a Quaker conscientious objector.
