Night Ambush

1957 NR 1h 44m 6.5

Led by British officers, partisans on Crete plan to kidnap the island's German commander and smuggle him to Cairo, Egypt to embarrass the occupiers.

Based on the true story of how, during World War II, a gang of desperadoes (British officers enlisted for "hostilities only" and local partisans) went to the occupied island of Crete and kidnapped a German general from under the nose of his army. That was the easy bit. They then had to get him back to Cairo, Egypt, dodging an intense air and land search.
