A Tobruk, nell’Africa settentionale, davanti all’avanzata delle truppe del generale Rommel l’addestramento di un reparto australiano viene affidato al capitano inglese McRoberts. Dalla distruzione di una colonna di carri armati tedeschi attratti in un tranello a quella di un grosso deposito di munizioni nemiche grazie a una missione particolarmente rischiosa, i soldati alleati si coprono di gloria.

The Desert Rats (1953)
88 min
In North Africa, German Field Marshal Rommel and his troops have successfully fended off British forces, and now intend to take Tobruk, an important port city. A ramshackle group of Australian reinforcements sent to combat the Germans is put under the command of British Captain MacRoberts. The unruly Aussies immediately clash with MacRoberts, a gruff, strict disciplinarian, however this unorthodox team must band together to protect Tobruk from the German forces.
