Force 10 From Navarone

Force 10 from Navarone is a 1978 action war film loosely based on Alistair MacLean's 1968 novel of the same name. It is a sequel to the 1961 film The Guns of Navarone. The parts of Mallory and Miller are played by Robert Shaw (who died before the film was released), and Edward Fox, succeeding in the roles originally portrayed by Gregory Peck and David Niven. It was directed by Guy Hamilton and also stars Harrison Ford, Carl Weathers, Barbara Bach, Franco Nero (in a role previously played by Tutte Lemkow), and Richard Kiel.

Plot

In 1943, sometime after destroying a German fortress on the island of Navarone, Major Keith Mallory and Sergeant Donovan "Dusty" Miller are ordered to track and eliminate Nicolai, a German spy who betrayed the Navarone mission. Nicolai is believed to have infiltrated the Yugoslav Partisans under the assumed identity "Captain Lescovar". Mallory and Miller are attached to "Force 10", an American commando unit led by Rangers lieutenant colonel Mike Barnsby. They steal a Royal Air Force bomber, joined by Weaver, a U.S. Army Medical Corps sergeant who has escaped Military Police custody. When the bomber is intercepted and forced down, only Barnsby, Mallory, Miller, Weaver, and Lieutenant Doug Reynolds survive the crash.
