Группа агентов союзников во время второй мировой войны совершает отчаянную операцию по спасению американского генерала из неприступной крепости в Альпах. Но от командования поступает секретная директива: не доверять никому. Есть подозрение, что операция будет поставлена под угрозу из-за действий двойного агента, работающего на немцев. Один из лучших и по сей день приключенческих военных фильмов. Сценарий Алистера Маклина по его же роману...
These people work for the military. First they're going to get the enemy... then they're going after the brass that sent them... During WW2 a British aircraft is shot down and crashes in Nazi held territory. The Germans capture the only survivor, an American General, and take him to the nearest SS headquarters. Unknown to the Germans the General has full knowledge of the D-Day operation. The British decide that the General must not be allowed to divulge any details of the Normandy landing at all cost and order Major John Smith to lead a crack commando team to rescue him. Amongst the team is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Schaffer, who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation. When one of the team dies after the parachute drop, Schaffer suspects that Smith's mission has a much more secret objective...

The novel and the film
The film and novel are reasonably close. The principal difference is that the novel is less violent than the film and, in particular, one scene, during the escape from the castle, where Smith saves a German guard from burning to death, presaged the non-lethal thriller vein MacLean explored in his later career. In the novel, the characters are more clearly defined, and slightly more humorous than the fast pace of the film and the grim acting of Burton and Eastwood portrayed. Two characters are differently named in the film: Carraciola is called Ted Berkeley and von Brauchitsch is named as Major von Hapen of the Gestapo (Despite von Hapen's uniform having SS collar flashes, this is correct as Gestapo officials also held SS rank; less credible is the fact of a Gestapo Major sporting a "von" before his surname). A budding love story between Schaffer and Heidi was also cut. In the film Berkeley is killed by the Germans, thus only Thomas and Christiansen escape in the cable car with Smith on the roof. In the book, the group are flown into Germany on board an RAF Lancaster bomber whereas in the film they are transported in a Luftwaffe, Junkers Ju 52. Historical inaccuracies
A helicopter (actually an American Bell 47 that entered U.S. military service in 1946) is seen at the start of the film. Helicopters did exist during World War II but their use was limited and still experimental. The German Military did not have horizontal-rotor craft able to fly a high ranking General from Berlin to Bavaria, as is evidenced by the dialogue in the film. Another historical error mistake in the film is the character of Gestapo Major von Hapen as he can be seen throughout the film wearing a pre-1939 black SS Allgemeine-SS uniform. By WWII, all SS personnel were wearing field grey (which all the other SS characters in the film wear except for von Hapen). By the1940s the black SS uniform was only used for the most formal of parade functions. Likewise Von Hapen's presence at the military headquarters castle is also strange as the Gestapo's primary role was to find and locate "enemies of the Third Reich". Agents were assigned to offices (Stapoleitstellen) located in major cities in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe . Another inconsistency concerning von Hapen is regarding the medals he wears on his uniform. These include the German Cross, the Iron Cross, and the Close Combat Clasp in gold. All these awards are front-line military decorations that a uniformed-Gestapo agent assigned to homeland duties in Bavaria could not earn. In addition, the Close Combat Clasp in gold was such a rare decoration (of the 18 – 20 million soldiers in the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS only 631 received the Gold Class), fighting troops regarded it with even higher esteem than the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The film also contradicts established facts about the German military and the way in which the General deals with the SS colonel in charge of the military fortress. The general, who is dressed as Wehrmacht staff officer, speaks to the colonel as if the SS was part of the German Army. The script makes several references to keeping things "within the Army" and not having the SS or Gestapo get involved. But this makes little sense as the Colonel is a member of the Waffen-SS and not the Wehrmacht. At the end of the movie, the team is extricated by a captured German Ju-52, military aircraft. However in reality it only had an operational range of about 810 miles (1,300 km) so it would have run out of fuel shortly after take-off as the round trip to Bavaria from Britain (or from Anzio, Italy) is at least 1,200 miles (1,900 km). The driving force behind the film was Richard Burton's son, who wanted to see his father in a good, old-fashioned adventure war film. Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner for ideas, who consulted with MacLean. At that time, most of MacLean's novels had either been made into films, or were in the process of being filmed, nevertheless, Kastner persuaded MacLean to write a new story; six weeks later, MacLean delivered the script of Where Eagles Dare.
The title derives from Act I, Scene III in William Shakespeare's Richard III: "The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch". Where Eagles Dare takes place during World War II. In the winter of 1943-44, U.S. Army Brigadier General George Carnaby, enroute to Crete to rendezvous with Russian forces to plan the final details of the invasion of Normandy, is captured by the Germans when his aircraft is shot down. He is taken to the Schloß Adler (The Castle of the Eagles - hence the story's title), a fortress high in the Alps above the town of Werfen and the headquarters of the German Secret Service in southern Bavaria. A special team of mainly British commandos is hurriedly assembled and briefed by Colonel Wyatt Turner and Admiral Rolland of MI6, and led by Major John Smith, MC and US Army Ranger Lieutenant Morris Schaffer. Their mission is to parachute into the locality, infiltrate the Schloß Adler, and rescue General Carnaby before the Germans can interrogate him.
Known only to Smith and Rolland, SOE agent Mary Elison, a trusted member of MI6, accompanies the mission. General Carnaby, really an American actor and look-alike by the name of Cartwright Jones, deliberately crash-landed near the castle after a staged attack by Royal Air Force fighters. He must be rescued before the Germans realize that he truly does not know of any secret plans and is not General Carnaby.
During the early hours of the mission, someone begins killing other members of the team and attempting to cover the evidence. Major Smith is unsurprised but shares his secret only with Lt. Schaffer, trustworthy because he has no former connection with MI6. Contriving to get the entire party captured, Smith and Schaffer, being officers, are separated from Thomas et al., the only three non-officers left alive after the murder of two others. Smith and Schaffer kill their captors, successfully cover the evidence, create a diversion in the town by blowing up the railway station, and make their way to the cable car station that provides the only safe entrance to the castle. When Thomas et al. are brought up to the castle under German guard, Smith and Schaffer silently climb on top of the car and ride to the Schloß Adler with them. Meanwhile, Mary Elison is brought into the castle by Heidi, a top trusted MI6 agent since 1941 disguised as a barmaid in Werfen. Once in her room, she lets down a rope from her window over the cable car station, and Smith and Schaffer climb inside. All the parties are now in the castle. Thomas, Berkeley and Christiansen, taken for questioning, declare their true German identity, revealing themselves as double agents. Smith and Schaffer are known to be missing; the German officers in charge of the interrogation of Carnaby, Gen. Rosemeyer and Col. Kramer, discover their secret entry into the castle but fail to find them.
Smith and Schaffer, hiding in a gallery above the dining room where Carnaby's interrogation is taking place, descend to the room, where Smith suddenly betrays and disarms Schaffer. He announces himself as Major Johann Schmidt of SS Military Intelligence, satisfying the doubting Kramer and Rosemeyer of this identity with false proof handed, years ago, to German allies. He exposes the true identity of Carnaby/Jones, and explains to the Germans that Thomas et al. are not double agents, but rather, British impostors. To test them, Smith proposes that they write the names of their fellow conspirators, to be compared to the "master list" in his pocket. In addition, Smith writes a name on another piece of paper, shown only to Kramer—the name of the top German agent in Britain. Kramer nods his agreement, waiting to see if the "exposed British agents" can come up with equal proof of their German identity. Mary Ure as Mary Elison Meanwhile, Mary, investigating the castle to plan the party's escape, meets Major von Hapen, a Gestapo officer. He takes her on a date to the castle's cafe, where he subtly forces her to reveal the tale of her assumed identity. Unfortunately, Mary's supposed hometown, Düsseldorf, is also von Hapen's, and he realises through her faulty details that she is lying, uttering the classic line "Strange, I seem to remember...that the cathedral was on the 'other' side of the square." Knowing that British agents are loose in the castle, von Hapen leaves Mary to attempt to find the enemy. Back in the dining room, Thomas, Berkeley and Christiansen finish writing their lists. Kramer takes one of the small notebooks, thumbing appreciatively through its pages, filled with German names. Smith hands him a notebook to compare to - the "master list." Its pages are blank. Before Kramer realises something is seriously amiss, Smith signals to Schaffer to retrieve his dropped gun. Together they shoot the guards, holding everyone but Carnaby/Jones at gunpoint.
At this point it is revealed that the entire mission has been a cover for an MI6 operation to disclose the identities of German double agents who have infiltrated British intelligence. Major Smith and Admiral Rolland have managed the operation; they devised a plan to trick known agents into disclosing their contacts, revealing the entire network of infiltrators. Three of the party on the Bavarian mission, Thomas, Berkeley and Christiansen, were known to be double agents only by Smith and Rolland and were the targets of the MI6 plan. Taking from Kramer the three books of names, Smith, Schaffer and Cartwright Jones are about to make good their escape, with the three traitors in tow, when von Hapen enters the room. Von Hapen trusts nobody and trains a pistol on the entire room, demanding an explanation. Smith, thinking quickly, explains that he has just uncovered a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and that the books contain names of the conspirators, taken forcibly from the Germans seated at the table. Von Hapen demands to see the names. Schaffer removes his hidden pistol and shoots von Hapen as Mary bursts through the door with her own gun. They also shoot Kramer, Rosemeyer and the nurse on hand (whose job it was to inject Carnaby/Jones with scopolamine for the interrogation). They tie up Thomas, Berkeley and Christiansen, and begin their escape. Smith and Schaffer organise a diversion in the form of blowing up half the castle while they, joined by Heidi, make their way to the cable car station. The Germans shoot Berkeley after Smith forces him to climb down the rope Smith used to gain entry into the castle hours before.
Thomas and Christiansen knock out Schaffer and use a cable car to escape to Werfen, leaving the heroes stranded at the castle. At the last second, Smith climbs atop the car, fighting the men inside from the roof, balancing thousands of feet above the Alps. Christiansen climbs up to fight Smith, who forces him off the roof to his death. Placing a detonation charge on the car, Smith escapes by leaping onto the passing ascending car, leaving the surviving Thomas to be blown up. Smith rides up to the castle station, loads his party into the car and rides it down, escaping the Germans waiting at the Werfen station by dropping into the river. Smith, Schaffer, Mary, Heidi and Jones make their way to a garage where earlier they had hotwired a bus for their escape. Pursued by the Germans, they drive to the nearby Oberhausen Airfield, where an RAF aircraft, painted as a German training plane posed a false emergency landing. On board is Colonel Turner, second-in-command of the supposed rescue mission. Under gunfire, the party boards the plane and escapes into the sky. The final scene takes place on board the plane. Smith shows the books of German names to Turner, commenting that one single name is missing—one that the others couldn't have known, since the mastermind of the German spy network in Britain was kept hidden from them. It is the name Smith showed Kramer earlier that evening, the name Kramer confirmed as the top agent. That name is Colonel Turner. Turner, exposed, faces a court-martial for treason in his native Britain. He chooses suicide, leaping from the plane. Smith returns to Rolland, having successfully destroyed German infiltration in Britain for the remainder of the war. Информация о фильме:
