A tense, methodical WWII espionage thriller centered on the race to stop Nazi weapons development, balancing technical intrigue with wartime danger.

Allied agents infiltrate the Nazi rocket complex at Peenemunde in order to obtain their secrets and sabotage the plant. The film alternates between German developments of the V-1 missile and V-2 rocket (with a German cast speaking their own language) and discovery by British Intelligence of the weapon.
