COMMANDOS

Lee Van Cleef plays U.S. Army Sgt. Sullivan in an against-all-odds war adventure about a group of misfit soldiers he trains to stage a daring mission in North Africa. The platoon is ordered to take over an Italian camp, but as soon as the American soldiers reach their target, all hell breaks loose when some unexpected twists get in the way of completing their mission. Commandos features a top-notch international cast, intense combat scenes, heart-stopping explosions, and stunning cinematography.

EAGLES ATTACK AT DAWN

Eagles Attack at Dawn is centered on a rescue mission to retrieve Israeli commandos from a Syrian prison. The operation is a covert maneuver involving members of the Israeli Army and Security Services. The three main agents include: Eli (Yehoram Gaon), Beno (Rick Jason), and Abie (Peter Brown), who must distract Syrian Major Heikal (Joseph Shiloah) in order to get the men out. To divert the Major's attention, the Israelis give false information to the Syrians by strategically leaking the news.

HITLER'S SS: PORTRAIT OF EVIL

Hitler's SS: Portrait of Evil is an over-all look at Hitler's regime, focusing in on two young brothers from Berlin who join the Nazi camp. Helmut Hoffman is an ambitious, intelligent young man who becomes part of the SS in 1931. Karl Hoffman, Helmut's younger brother, is an athlete and optimist who accepts a chauffeur job for the SA or Storm Troopers. But the SS crushes and disbands the SA and Karl is spared from death only through the power and influence of his elder brother. This so-called rescue, however, first results in Karl's imprisonment, where he remains until he is then forced into the German army. It is brother pitted against brother until the Third Reich begins to collapse and Helmut becomes introspective—realizing he must make amends for his misdeeds.

GO FOR BROKE!

In this war drama, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team is honored due to its make-up of mostly Japanese-American volunteers who loyally and courageously fought in World War II against their homeland and in the name of the United States. In particular, the film focuses on Lt. Mike Grayson, who holds prejudices against his men—ideas that were prevalent about all Japanese-Americans at the time. But as he watches the valiant men selflessly engage in battle, the lieutenant's biases are slowly chipped away until they are completely dissolved by the end of the war.
