They went up like men! They came down like animals!
Director: Sidney Lumet
Starring: Sean Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen
Overview
North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective. It's The Hill, a manmade instrument of torture, a tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun. And the troops' tormentors are not the enemy, but their own comrades-at-arms.
