TWO FORCES IN AN EXPLOSIVE RACE AGAINST TIME AND DESTRUCTION
Major Wright (Telly Savalas) and the Dirty Dozen are challenged with a unique assignment: the destruction of a 'Fourth Reich', a group of top level Nazi leaders. Hitler, on the advice of his generals, who feel in 1943 that it is possible the Germans may lose the war, approves a plan to send these leaders on a special train to Istanbul, Turkey. His idea is that over the next 25 years they will build a new Fourth Reich to return to power, even if Germany loses World War II.
The action travels to Yugoslavia and the Balkans, as the Dirty Dozen pursues the fast moving train across the international borders. It crescendos in spectacular assault on the train, the unmasking and killing of a traitor who has infiltrated the group and a desperate race to the Greek coast.
