English Summary:
The McKenzie Break is a 1970 DeLuxe Color British war drama film directed by Lamont Johnson, starring Brian Keith as Jack Connor, an intelligence officer investigating recent disturbances at a prisoner of war (POW) camp in Scotland. The POWs are led by the charismatic, yet ruthless, Willi Schlüter (Helmut Griem).
At a Prisoner of War (POW) camp for Germans in the north of Scotland, Kapitän zur See Willi Schlüter (Helmut Griem) - a submariner – challenges the authority of the camp’s embattled Commanding Officer, Major Perry (Ian Hendry). British Army Captain Jack Connor arrives to investigate what's happening at the McKenzie POW Camp.
Connor believes the camp disturbances are a cover for an escape attempt. During a mass brawl two POWs escape dressed as British soldiers and Connor notices an outcast German POW named Neuchl (Horst Janson), being dragged from the barracks and fleeing from the Germans. He is badly beaten and later that night in the hospital is strangled before Connor gets the chance to learn about Schlüter's plans.
Hungarian Summary:
A második világháború vége felé egy skóciai német hadifogolytáborban elszabadulnak az indulatok. A fogságba esett nácik vezetője, a keménykezű Schlüter olyan hatalomra tett szert, hogy a skót őrök szinte már be se mernek lépni a tábor területére. A brit hadvezetés tart a lázadástól és a szökéstől, ezért a helyszínre küld egy különös ír katonát. Connor százados a háború előtt tévedhetetlen szimatú bűnügyi újságíró volt. A hadseregben renitens viselkedése, kimaradásai és italozás miatt eljárás folyik ellene. A felettesei alkut kínálnak: hajlandóak szemet hunyni Connor vétségei felett, ha cserébe megfékezi a lázongó németeket.
