The Hill (1965)
They went up like men! They came down like animals!
Starring Sean Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen
Directed by Sidney Lumet
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.
