Casablanca Express (DVD)

Africa 1942 - Special Agent Alan Cooper is assigned to protect a train carrying Prime Minister Winston Churchill to Casablanca for a top-secret meeting with Stalin and Roosevelt. The Nazis have discovered the plan and German paratroopers lead a brutal assault, slaughtering the commando guards and taking Churchill prisoner. Cooper manages to escape but is now faced with an almost impossible mission - to mount a counterattack that will free the captive prime minister before the Germans can transport their prize back to Berlin.

Jason Connery and Francesco Quinn (sons of Sean Connery and Anthony Quinn) spearhead a fine cast which includes Glenn Ford and Donald Pleasence. Loaded with action and fine location photography, the twisting plot of Casablanca Express soars to a shocking conclusion.
