A straightforward WWII action-adventure about a ragtag team of convicts on a high-stakes sabotage mission, driven by plot momentum and ensemble camaraderie rather than introspection.

Learning of a Nazi plot to attack Washington, D.C. with a deadly nerve gas, Major Wright leads twelve convicts on a suicide mission deep into occupied France to destroy the secret factory where the poison is made.
