Great movie, 7 December 1998
10/10
Author: Tony Berkoff (aberkoff@hq.caci.com) from Virginia

This is one of my favorite movies. It makes you anxious wondering when (or if) Maj. Pike is going to see through the Nazi facade or is going to be duped.

Look for an appearance by John Banner ("Hogan's Heroes"'s Sgt. Schultz) and a brief cameo by James Doohan ("Star Trek"'s Scotty).
