Where Eagles Dare
The events of that story tell us more of the adventures we are experiencing through a series of military raids. When Allied agents raid a castle where an American general is jailed by the Nazis, things seem to turn upside down. Now, the war begins and there are more things about to collapse.

Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton team up for a fairly high-flying adventure.January 01, 2000
You have to admire any film that casts Clint Eastwood opposite Richard Burton; the real violence is in the clash of acting styles.December 26, 2007
If it's explosions, gunplay, and wartime treachery that you like, Where Eagles Dare delivers.June 06, 2010
A straight-ahead, old-school action movie for war-espionage junkies. [Blu-ray]January 26, 2006
It may be devoid of significance of any sort, but it is nevertheless passably entertaining, and certainly better viewing than most MacLean adaptations.July 26, 2002
Non-stop action of the highest quality.May 09, 2005
It is so long (almost three hours) that it may finally bore the very action trade for which it was intended; yet it's just at that point of surface boredom that the movie aficionado will probably become entranced.May 24, 2008
If it's a mindless roller-coaster thrill ride that you fancy, this is the vehicle that knows how to make it a fun ride.December 26, 2007
Alistair MacLean wrote an original screenplay that was treated with respect for the writer's unusual abilities as a master of actionful suspense. The resulting film is highly entertaining, thrilling and rarely lets down for a moment.
