Description

In the summer of 1944 top German officers initiated a plan to assassinate their own Fuhrer, Adolph Hitler. Realizing that the cause of the Third Reich was a hopeless one, these conspirators hope that Hitler’s death would allow them to negotiate a ceasefire with the Americans. Their amazing story is told in this action-packed drama featuring a powerhouse international cast. German Sergeant Steiner (Richard Burton) is chosen by General Hoffman (Curt Jergens) to contact the Americans and inform them of the July 20th plot to kill Hitler. Steiner and his men set off on their perilous mission of peace across enemy lines and succeed in contacting American Colonel Rogers (Robert Mitchum). Then, together, Steiner and Rogers must convince the American commanding officer (Rod Steiger) that this plan may bring about the end of World War II (94 minutes)
