This movie begins with a tank battle in the desert of North Africa between the Axis allies of Germany and Italy against Great Britain. Following a devastating victory by the Germans several British soldiers are taken prisoner with one particular American soldier by the name of "Sergeant David Thatcher" (Victor Mature) captured as well. However, there is more to Sergeant Thatcher than meets the eye and the Germans have a special interest in him above all of the other soldiers they have captured. At any rate, rather than possibly spoil the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that although the film starts out with a tank battle there are relatively few scenes involving tanks at all. As a matter of fact, most of this movie involves a desperate attempt by a few allied soldiers to escape while the Germans and Italians are in hot pursuit. In any case, it was a decent Grade-B film for the most part with plenty of action and adequate acting throughout and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
