Synopsis
The most important missions are often the ones nobody back home will ever hear about. Michael Anderson's "Operation Crossbow," loosely based on real events, begins as British intelligence learns that the Nazis are developing rocket weapons capable of devastating London - and possibly reaching New York. With time running out, Allied command devises a daring plan: slip a team of specially trained engineers into Germany, posing as foreign scientists, to infiltrate the hidden underground factory where the rockets are being built and destroy it from within. George Peppard, Tom Courtenay and Jeremy Kemp play the undercover agents, while Sophia Loren makes a memorable appearance as the wife of the man whose identity Peppard's character has assumed. With Trevor Howard, John Mills and Richard Todd in the ranks, it builds to a spectacular finale without losing sight of war's heavy personal toll. You'll be holding your breath right to the end.
