See the most agreed on films →During World War II, a rebellious U.S. Army major is assigned a near-suicidal mission: to lead a squad of twelve convicts—murderers, rapists, and thieves—on a raid against a chateau full of high-ranking German officers. He must train the uncooperative and dangerous men into a disciplined unit, offering them pardons if they survive the mission behind enemy lines.
