**_Burt Lancaster as a French Resistance fighter trying to stop a German train with stolen art_**

Paris is on the verge of liberation from Nazi occupation in 1944, so a German colonel (Paul Scofield) loads a train with a priceless cargo of French paintings to take to Germany, which Resistance fighters led by engineer Labiche (Burt Lancaster) are intent on stopping.

Great war suspense-thriller from John Frankenheimer.
