Tobruk

Rock Hudson and George Peppard star in the explosive hard-hitting World War II epic Tobruk. Based on a true incident, this exciting drama follows a convoy of British and German-Jewish commandos as they cross 800 miles on Libyan desert to blow up a key Nazi fortress at Tobruk guarded by General Rommel's best troops. Hudson plays a Canadian officer who is shanghaied into joining the daring raid, while Peppard plays the determined leader of the German-Jewish unit, battling Allied prejudice along with enemy fire. Directed by Arthur Hiller, this suspense-packed adventure against all odds climaxes in one of the most spectacular fiery finales ever to hit the screen.
