Richard Attenborough, John Gregson and Michael Craig star in this action packed British War Movie. A lone patrol from the British Long Range Desert Group - the forerunners of the SAS - are despatched on a vital mission behind enemy lines in North Africa. Their task - to destroy one of Rommel's fuel dumps and to bring back vital intelligence information. As they press home their attack, the elite British unit encounters an unexpected force of Afrika Korps battle armour. They are faced with stark choice - to stand and fight against an overwhelmingly superior number of German Panzers, or attempt to traverse a deadly minefield where every footstep could mean death.
