The Dirty Dozen
Train them! Excite them! Arm them!...Then turn them loose on the Nazis!
Directed by Robert Aldrich
Produced by Seven Arts Pictures, MKH
A rousing, action-packed war heist film that balances camaraderie among misfits with the brutal stakes of a suicide mission behind enemy lines.
12 American military prisoners in World War II are ordered to infiltrate a well-guarded enemy château and kill the Nazi officers vacationing there. The soldiers, most of whom are facing death sentences for a variety of violent crimes, agree to the mission and the possible commuting of their sentences.
