Major John Reisman (Marvin) an outspoken US Army officer, already viewed unfavorably by his superiors, is "volunteered" to choose comm& of the mission, where his team is to assault and kill the chateau in Normandy, frequented by German officers. A mission is placed to require place good before a D-Day invasion, as a chateau is frequented by German officers in leave from either their units.

A soldiers don't require kindly to Reisman's hard step by step videos regime, & a select few try to sabotage it, however one of these days it begin to operate as a team & prove that it're quick for love or money. A mission goes ahead, & a chateau is assaulted. Virtually all of a resident come flushed whenever the building is blown higher. Single Reisman, Sergeant Bowren, & one of a Contaminated Pack, Wladislaw (Bronson), endure a mission.
