The Dirty Dozen

It is 1944, and the Allied armies stand ready for a major invasion of Germany. As a prelude to D-Day, US Army Intelligence orders a top secret mission where convicted criminals will be offered a full pardon in return for parachuting into the Reich on a suicide mission. Lee Marvin stars as Major Reisman, the man responsible for turning 12 convicted criminals into a cohesive fighting unit. Their mission is to assasinate a group of German officers on leave, in order to disrupt their chain of command. Ernest Borbnine, Charles Bronson and Jim Brown also star in this World War II epic.
