Patton

DramaWar172 min

George C. Scott is General George S. Patton, the brilliant, volatile tank commander whose World War II campaigns carry him from North Africa to the invasion of Germany. As Patton drives Allied forces forward, the film tracks the contradictions behind the legend: battlefield swagger, belief in destiny, clashes with superiors, and a temper that keeps threatening his command. Karl Malden's Omar Bradley provides a steadier counterpoint, watching Patton's aggression unsettle both enemies and allies.
