The Hill (1965)

1965 · 123 min · Drama, War

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.

Directed by Sidney Lumet. Starring Sean Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen, Alfred Lynch and Ossie Davis.
