Synopsis

1943. The German Army is retreating, pounded on all sides by the Russian onslaught. The only men who survive are those who revel in war and destruction - like Sergeant Steiner (James Coburn). And men who won't risk their necks for anything - like Captain Stransky (Maximilian Schell). Stransky wants one thing above all - the supreme symbol of bravery, the Iron Cross. And he wants Steiner to win it for him - and get blown apart while doing so. But Steiner isn't known as a rebel for nothing... Sam Peckinpah's searing picture of men living at extremes - fighting for their lives.
