Handlung
Deutschland 1944: Über Bayern wird ein Flugzeug der Alliierten abgeschossen. Ein amerikanischer General wird gefangen genommen und in ein schwer befestigtes Schloss in den Bergen verschleppt. Bevor er etwas über die bevorstehende Invasion der Amerikaner (D-Day) ausplaudern kann, soll ihn eine Spezialeinheit unter der Leitung des britischen Majors Smith befreien. Doch schon bald werden Mitglieder des Teams unter merkwürdigen Umständen getötet und auch die Deutschen scheinen über jeden Schritt der Einheit bestens informiert. Lieutenant Schaeffer der einzige Amerikaner unter den Briten, beginnt am tatsächlichen Ziel der Mission zu zweifeln.
