The guns of Navarone

It is 1943. Two huge German guns in a grim, impregnable fortress on a beautiful island off the coast of Turkey are having a devastating impact on Allied shipping and preventing the evacuation of hard-pressed British troops from the nearby island of Kheros. The Germans are poised to overrun and unless the guns can be put out of action within a matter of days, a thousand men will die. All previous attempts to attack the fortress of Navarone have failed. It is time for one last desperate throw of the dice. And so a select Subversive Operations commando unit, led by the famous pre-war mountaineer Captain Keith Mallory, launches a daring and very possibly suicidal attack.

  • "On the island of Kheros, just north of Navarone, 1200 British soldiers will be dead, wounded or prisoner unless they can be evacuated before the Germans launch their next onslaught. And they can only be evacuated if Capt. Keith Mallory - skilled saboteur and trained mountaineer - can spike the guns of Navarone."@en
