They commit to one last mission to free the remaining captives they left behind.

Rick Jason is best known for starring in the TV war drama \u003ci\u003eCombat!\u003c\/i\u003e with Vic Morrow (1962-1967). According to his autobiography, the producers had pitched the movie to him as an Israeli version of \u003ci\u003eCombat!\u003c\/i\u003e (at the time, it was a very popular program there.) A later dispute over money lead Golan and Globus to unnecessarily overdub Jason's performance with another actor. (Tragically, Jason would die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2000, shortly after attending a \u003ci\u003eCombat!\u003c\/i\u003e reunion.) \u003ci\u003eEagles Attack at Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e also features another popular television actor, Peter Brown, who co-starred on the Western shows \u003ci\u003eLawman\u003c\/i\u003e (1958-1962) and \u003ci\u003eLaredo\u003c\/i\u003e (1965-1967).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBATTLE OF THE EAGLES (1979):\u003c\/b\u003e The real-life story of the courageous Yugoslavian airmen who fought back against the Nazis during their country's occupation by the Axis Powers. Known as the Partisan Air Squadron, these daring aviators strafed Nazi strongholds and bases in the dead of night, sometimes at the cost of their own lives. \u003ci\u003eBattle of the Eagles\u003c\/i\u003e is directed by Hajrudin Krvavac (billed as Tom Raymounth) who made several films about the Partisan struggle against Nazi oppression, including \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e (1969) and \u003ci\u003eWalter Defends Sarajevo\u003c\/i\u003e (1972).
