The Dirty Dozen
1967 · TMDB 7.6
Directed by Robert Aldrich
12 American military prisoners in World War II are ordered to infiltrate a well-guarded enemy château and kill the Nazi officers vacationing there. The soldiers, most of whom are facing death sentences for a variety of violent crimes, agree to the mission and the possible commuting of their sentences.
Why it matters
Twelve military prisoners are offered pardons in exchange for a suicide mission behind enemy lines in WWII. The template for the misfit-team action film.
