ActionAdventureDramaWar111 min
Shot down over Britain during the Battle of Britain, Luftwaffe pilot Franz von Werra becomes a prisoner of war with one fixed idea: getting back to Germany. Hardy Kruger is von Werra, all confidence and calculation, bluffing his way through interrogations and probing every weakness in the camps holding him. Michael Goodliffe and Jack Gwillim are among the British officers and officials drawn into the cat-and-mouse problem of a captive who refuses to settle into captivity.
