Some British and American planes have been shot down and the Germans want to know where the pilots are hiding. An acquaintance has clearance to drive to Paris with a truckload of goats. After she is in the truck Therese discovers that two British pilots and an American pilot are back there with the goats. She must get the men on a train to Paris and to a safe house there, where there is no room for the American. Can she leave him at the Metro station trying to figure out the map?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film knows its strengths and plays to them honestly. Visual style and pacing are in sync; you never feel you're watching different films stitched together.

Worth watching for the solidly executed sequences and overall energy. The plot doesn't reach for revelation — but it doesn't get in the way.

For those who want to switch off and get an adrenaline dose without complications.

Director: René Clément
