Based on a Jack Higgins book (which I loved), it is a good ensemble based World War II about the German plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. Neat that it is told from the German's point of view. Ending could be better bit overall if you like films like The Dirty Dozen or The Great Escape, then give this a go. A young Michael Caine is good but Donald Sutherland steals the show.
Just like any other movie that tries to break out of a great book, this one suffers. But, unlike other movies that are spawned of a great book, the wonderful acting and half-descent action carry this movie above the ranks. Also, if you are a fan of WWII flicks then this should be on your list of things to do.

Directed by: John Sturges ..........This 1976 adventure story set in World War II concerns a Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill from his retreat--or murder him if need be. The large, great cast and a director, John Sturges, who's been down this road of ensemble action before
I really enjoyed this war movie and it had some stand out performances.A very fascinating story of the Nazis plan to kidnap Churchill and how they almost pulled it off. Donald Pleasance really impressed me with his small cameo of Reichsfuhrer Himmler.
Inspierd By Otto Skozeny's rescue of Mussolini in 1943 it is as not as realistic with Britain being an Island it would be dificult to capture the priminster a take him to Germany so it would have been impossible the plot was a bit week.
An interesting "What if..." based plot about a german plot to assassinate Churchill is efficiently handled by an action stalwart. The cast is strong, and gives the german would be assassins a rather more understanding and human slant in an unusual and effective WWII thriller.
John Sturges helms this wonderful, thrilling WWII film seen from the other side. Great performances from Caine, Sutherland, Duvall and Jenny Agutter (man, that woman just gets sexier with age.) Check it out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Michael Caine at his very best. Entertaining support from Sutherland too. Perfectly paced plot. Although the ending is predictable some of the events that occur beforehand are not. Perfect for a Sunday evening.
Another of those fine conspiracy movies from the 70s. A wonderful cast from Caine, to Duvall, to Sutherland, to Jenny Agutter, to Jean Marsh. As with The Day of the Jackal, you have to employ your willing suspension of disbelief when it comes to the goal of assassinating Winston Churchill, but the ride to the inevitable conclusion is a lot of fun.
