OPERATION CROSSBOW

They were schooled in sabotage.., licensed to kill.., and send to destroy the world's deadliest rocket base! A fearsome rumour reaches Britain's World War II command, The Nazis are developing rocket technology that could rain death on London, and, then, New York. Quickly England develops a plan to send saboteurs into the site manufacturing the rockets. Just moments after the carefully chosen commandos parachute into the drop zone, their pilot receives an urgent message: The mission maybe compromised, Abort. Operation Crossbow is the partly fact-based tale of how that team succeeded against daunting odds, Michael Anderson directs, guiding a huge cast in a film that builds to a spectacular finale, yet never neglects war's unsparing personal costs. As a record of a wartime espionage incursion and as an intrigue-filled thriller, Operation Crossbow is on both counts Operation Accomplished.
