With Crete controlled by German Gen. Heinrich Kreipe (Marius Goring), British Maj. Patrick Leigh Fermor (Dirk Bogarde) and Capt. W. Stanley Moss (David Oxley) launch a raid of the island. The Englishmen, backed by rebel forces who've fought against the occupying troops throughout World War II, ambush a Nazi roadblock and seize Kreipe.
