The Eagle Has Landed (1976)

6.9

Plot: Following Mussolini's daring rescue by the S.S., Hitler decides Sir Winston Churchill can be abducted and brought to Berlin and orders Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Chief of Abwerh (Sir Anthony Quayle), to make a feasibility study. The feasibility study conceived brilliantly by redoubtable Lieutenant Colonel Radl (Robert Duvall) becomes reality when an Abwehr Agent in England reports Churchill's imminent visit to a Bomber Command Unit on the eastern coast.

Alternative Plot: During World War II, Nazi officer Max Radl (Robert Duvall) devises a plan to kidnap or kill the British prime minister. Approved by German Cmdr. Heinrich Himmler (Donald Pleasence), the scheme moves forward with Col. Kurt Steiner (Michael Caine) leading the mission, aided by Liam Devlin (Donald Sutherland), an Irishman with a deep hatred of England. As the plan unfolds, it seems to be going well -- until certain events threaten the group's shot at success.
