1943. Two-thousand British troops are pinned down on the island of Kheros in the Aegean Sea. They have only one week to live because Hitler has planned a show of force on Kheros in order to convince neighboring Turkey to join the Axis. Allied attempts to rescue the men have failed because the channel to Kheros is guarded by two radar-controlled guns on the nearby island of Navarone. Air raids can't destroy the heavily fortified munitions.
A team of six brave individuals is called upon to sneak onto the island and take out the guns. It's a suicide mission if ever there was one, but somebody's got to give it a shot. Leading the team is the firm, unflappable Captain Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck, To Kill a Mockingbird), who's grown increasingly cynical as the war has marched on. He's aided by the embittered Col. Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn, Revenge), the world-weary Cpl. Miller (David Niven, Casino Royale), the violent Pvt. Butcher Brown (Stanley Baker, Zulu), the green Pvt. Spyros Pappadimos (James Darren, Gidget) and the earnest Maj. Roy Franklin (Anthony Quayle, Lawrence of Arabia). Will this band of hardened soldiers survive their perilous mission?
