Short description
As World War II rages, the elite Sixth Ranger Battalion is given a mission of heroic proportions: push 30 miles behind enemy lines and liberate over 500 American prisoners of war.
What's left behind the scenes
- Richard Johnson played his own grandfather, Captain Johnson.
- For the role of Major Gibson, actor Joseph Fiennes lost over 9 kg. Even during the 5-month filming period, he adhered to a strict diet and did physical exercises.
- Practically none of the US Army soldiers shown in the film are depicted wearing the standard "M1" helmet. The film mainly features the 6th Ranger Battalion, who did not take helmets on missions. This was because these pieces of equipment were bulky, heavy, and made a loud noise when struck. Moreover, they reflected sunlight, which exposed the soldiers.
- The film's initial release was planned for 2003, then moved to 2004. After that, the company "Miramax" began postponing and postponing the film's release. Then, the release of the film became impossible due to the separation of "Disney" and "Miramax." The film was released only when this process was completed. At that time, many previously withheld films produced by "Miramax" and "Dimension" were released.
