experts are teamed in two missions. Harrison
Ford portrays American Ranger Lt. Col. Mike
Barnsby, the leader of a commando unit sent to
Yugoslavia to destroy a vital bridge that will
allow Nazi forces to move into Partisan
territory. Shaw's character is british Major Mallory,
who joins Barnsby's unit but has a mission of
his own: seek out and eliminate a double agent
operating with the Yugoslavian resistance
fighters. This movie is also of note because it
marked Robert Shaw's final film appearance.
