Product Description
CAINE LEADS A CRACK TEAM OF GERMAN PARATROOPERS FORCED TO TAKE OVER A QUIET ENLGISH TOWN DURING A SECRET MISSION TO KIDNAP WINSTON CHURCHILL.
Amazon.com
This 1976 adventure story set in World War II concerns a Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill from his retreat--or murder him if need be. The large, great cast and a director, John Sturges, who's been down this road of ensemble action before (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) make this project exciting if not as memorable as Sturges's more famous works. The weak ending doesn't help. -- Tom Keogh

 WWII Fantasy February 8, 2009
J. C. Jordan (San Francisco, CA USA)
A WWII fantasy about a German commando team attempting to kidnap Winston Churchill. Wonderful performance by Jenny Agutter (Walkabout & An American Werewolf in London) and Judy Geeson (To Sir With Love). Excellent transfer and terrific price.
3 stars out of 4 January 8, 2009
One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
The Bottom Line:
Though a brief description of the plot (a desperate scheme to assassinate Churchill) might make the Eagle Has Landed seem silly or obvious, the movie is in fact a skillful and fast-moving thriller that is well-worth watching.
Great WWII Thriller August 28, 2008
Lewis W. Lefevre (Colorado)
This movie is based on a great book by Jack Higgins.It really follows the book very well and the actors in the movie are believable in their roles. I highly recommend this movie and/or the same named book!

I watched this movie a long time ago and brought it out of my collection recently. I must say that it holds up very well. The casting is just perfect and Jack Higgins story is really entertaining. Michael Caine and Robert Duvall are both perfect for their parts and really chew up the scenes. Another stand out in a small role is Larry Hagman. This movie has plenty of intrique and action.
An excellent war film September 23, 2007
James D. Crabtree (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba)
This is a great movie. I remember it as one of the first videos I ever watched.
In this movie a series of unconnected or coincidental events makes it possible for the Germans to kidnap Winston Churchill while he is near the coast. This movie has everything: espionage, drama, courage, romance, even humor. Well worth the time!
