English Summary:
In the winter of 1943–44, U.S. Army Lieutenant General George Carnaby (Robert Beatty), a chief planner for the Western Front, is captured by the Germans. He is taken for interrogation to the Schloß Adler, a mountaintop fortress accessible only by cable car or helicopter. A team of seven Allied commandos, led by British Major John Smith of the Grenadier Guards (Richard Burton) and U.S. Army Ranger Lieutenant Morris Schaffer (Clint Eastwood), is briefed by Colonel Turner (Patrick Wymark) and Vice Admiral Rolland (Michael Hordern) of MI6. Disguised as German troops, they are to parachute in, enter the castle, and rescue General Carnaby before the Germans can interrogate him. After their Ju 52 transport plane drops them into Germany, Smith secretly meets Mary Ellison (Mary Ure) and Heidi Schmidt (Ingrid Pitt), their presence known only to him; Heidi arranges for Mary to be a secretary at the castle.
Although two of the team are mysteriously killed, Smith continues the operation, keeping Schaffer as a close ally and secretly updating Rolland and Turner by radio. The Germans eventually surround the commandos in a tavern, and they are forced to surrender; Smith and Schaffer (being officers) are separated from the other three operatives, Thomas (William Squire), Berkeley (Peter Barkworth), and Christiansen (Donald Houston). Smith and Schaffer kill their captors, blow up a supply depot, and prepare an escape route for later use. They reach the castle by riding on the roof of a cable car, and climb inside when Mary lowers a rope.
Hungarian Summary:
1944-et írunk. Küszöbön áll a szövetségesek európai partraszállásának ideje, amikor egy kis angol-amerikai kommandót dobnak le a Bajor-Alpokban. Az angol Smith őrnagy és az amerikai Morris hadnagy csapatának parancsa világos: bejutni az alpesi erődbe, a Schloss Adlerbe, megkeresni a fogságba esett, fontos katonai titkok birtokában lévő célszemélyt, majd kimenekíteni onnan. Csakhamar kiderül, hogy a szövetségesek közül valaki áruló.
