Trama
Richard Burton recita in questo coinvolgente film che racconta la storia disperata di un coraggioso gruppo di uomini che cerca di tenere testa al noto maresciallo tedesco Erwin Rommel e alle sue truppe, nonostante l'evidente maggioranza numerica del nemico. E' l'anno 1941 e tutto ciò che sta tra Rommel e il Canale di Suez è la fortezza di Tobruk, presidiata solo da un piccolo battaglione australiano che il capitano MacRoberts (Burton) deve rapidamente addestrare! James Mason è coprotagonista nelle eccezionali vesti di Rommel in questa eccitante storia d'azione di eroi della seconda guerra mondiale noti come I Topi del Deserto.
