Breakthrough (1979)
4/10
Low budget over comes quality here

Warning: Spoilers
With old line actors Richard Burton and Robert Mitchums this movie is watchable. The best action footage is stock stuff st the very this group of actor worked a lot with Andrew W Mclaughlin - the director quite often and this movie represents nearly the end of the assembly line for these folks who liked to make movies together.

At the end of the Mitchem throws away his gun. He does better in The Wind of War without this gun anyhow.

A beginning. The budget at Republic Studios in 1979 shows up quite a bit. Not a real important war film and it makes ABC'a made for TV movie the Winds of War look better than this effort in comparison. Because of the stock footage it does compare favorably to the more recently made Valkyrie which is dreadful.

If your a fan of these actors it is worth a look. Nothing serious.
