British armor forces get routed by the Germans in WWII North Africa. Daniel Thatcher (Victor Mature) is one of those taken. Immediately, he makes an escape attempt even without permission. He is quickly recaptured. The American had actually tried to assassinate Josef Goebbels and would be a prized captive.
I like this movie until that one German soldier. It's the start of a series of unfortunate plot turns. The movie starts with some good tank action. The prison camp is standard. The escape runs into a couple of obstacles. When that one German soldier turns, the movie goes into bad melodrama. There are contrivances and bad plot points. At least, it finishes with some more solid tank action.
