Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1976 adventure story set in World War II concerns a Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill from his retreat--or murder him if need be. The large, great cast and a director, John Sturges, who's been down this road of ensemble action before (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) make this project exciting if not as memorable as Sturges's more famous works. The weak ending doesn't help. -- Tom Keogh

EXCELLENT !!,
By A Customer
This review is from: NEW Eagle Has Landed (DVD) (DVD)
Michael Caine is superb as a German (not Nazi) officer in charge of a mission into England in a plot to kidnap Churchill. The action is fast and lively. Donald Sutherland, an Irishman whose disdain of England for its Irish subjugation brings him to be allied with Caine, supports Caine splendidly. Of course the plot fails, but what's nice about the movie is that the German soldiers are not portrayed as the brutal, totally evil people most movies depict. They are shown to be human, and actually quite nice. The movie shows that not all Germans were Nazis, and it should be applauded for not taking the typical Hollywood direction.

The Eagle has Landed,
By
This review is from: Eagle Has Landed (DVD)
An all star cast (Michael Caine, Robert Duvall, Donald Sutherland) really makes this WW2 movie about German paratroopers landing in England in 1943 to kidnap Winston Churchill and return with him to Germany. Much of the movie is edge of your seat suspense. I might have preferred if the discovery of the plot had been responded to by British troops as opposed to an American Army unit considering it took place in England. Donald Sutherland is great as the Irish agent who assists the Germans.

The Eagle Has Landed (1976),
By
This review is from: Eagle Has Landed (DVD)
A classic movie, with an all-star cast. While a work of fiction, it demonstrates the lengths that both the Allies and the Axis powers went to, to achieve victory in World War II.
