A true classic with plenty of action, and a story that has a plot twist I didn’t see coming.

Good action movie, that still holds up for its age. It has some tense moments and a plot twist in the end.

Classic war/mission movie. I saw it many times as a kid so I might be a little biased but I really like it.

Adaptation of an Alistair MacLean novel that twists and turns and double-crosses and over the top action.

My dad was a big fan of both Eastwood and MacLean so I watched this many times as a kid. Only great memories of the suspense!

Classic feeling film with scenic views of the Alps & a rousing score. Eastwood & Burton are an odd pairing. The plot gets confusing quickly.

Pretty fun action movie, a little brainless but if you go in not taking it very seriously, it’s fine
