Storyline
| Plot Summary |
During World War II, German Colonel Dankhopf (David Hurst) is captured by the Americans, but before he can be interrogated, an artillery barrage hits the camp. However, Lieutenant Kelly (Clint Eastwood) manages to reach the Colonel, get him drunk, and learn that he is on a secret mission to ship sixteen million dollars of gold to a base in France. Kelly is determined to get the gold, and plans for himself and a few of his fellow soldiers to slip into enemy territory and steal the bullion.

| Trivia | Donald Sutherland (Oddball) became seriously ill during filming on-location in Yugoslavia. His wife received a telegram telling her to come immediately but warning her that he would probably be dead before she arrived. See more » |
| Goofs | The gold bars in the film appear to be standard gold bullion, each weighing approximately 27.28 pounds (436.48 oz.). At the 1944 price of $34 per ounce, 14000 gold bars would have a value of over $207 million, not the estimated $16 million in the film. See more » |
