Tobruk (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tobruk is a 2nd World War film shot in Spain and the United States written by Leo Gordon, and directed by Arthur Hiller. This 1967 production contains many spectacular action sequences, stunts and explosions. It is a typical WW2 fictional blockbuster action movie, which were popular in the 60's. It is comparable with contemporary war films such as Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare and The Guns of Navarone.

A Canadian officer accompanies a mixed force of British commandos and anti-Nazi German Jews, who, dressed up as German soldiers, destroy the German oil and fuel supply near the city of the Tobruk, in the desert of Northern Africa.
