Factual errors: The party were being followed by three Russian tanks for a number days. In all that time there was no sign of a fuel tanker. Tanks are very fuel hungry and would not have been able to sustain the pursuit without refueling. more

This was a fun little action/war story I saw as a telemovie today.
It stars Stuart Whitman, who I know better as the American in THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES, and is about a team taking a German rocket scientist to the allies towards the end of WWII.
It was very reminiscent of films like THE HEROES OF TELEMARK, THE WILD GEESE, WHERE EAGLES DARE, and A BRIDGE TOO FAR. The action shots were fairly well staged, especially the battle between the armaments (ie tanks, planes, guns, etc). The characters were very two-dimensional, but sustained storyline interest fairly well. Most of the plot was predictable, but the "noble" ending was rather cool and heart-warming.
Not a great classic by any means, but not a complete turkey either. I thought it was a pretty cool time-waster for a slow afternoon.
