A great movie and cast. Steve McQueen never looked edgier or grittier. This is a very psychological war film - and worth seeing. And I should point out, the battlefield in no way looks like southern California. Also note that the name "Reese" was used for another haggard and desperate soldier in a little movie called _The Terminator_ . Coincidence?

Hell Is for Heroes

1962 · 1h 30m · Released

War

World War II drama where the action centers around a single maneuver by a squad of GIs in retaliation against the force of the German Siegfried line. Reese joins a group of weary GIs unexpectedly ordered back into the line when on their way to a rest area. While most of the men withdraw from their positions facing a German pillbox at the far side of a mine-field, half a dozen men are left to protect a wide front. By various ruses, they manage to convince the Germans that a large force is still holding the position. Then Reese leads two of the men in an unauthorized and unsuccessful attack on the pillbox, in which the other two are killed; and when the main platoon returns, he is threatened with court-martial. Rather that face the disgrace, and in an attempt to show he was right, he makes a one-man attack on the pillbox.
