Summaries

A dramatization of the six-day-war between Israel and an alliance of Arab countries, enhancing the patriotism of a commando of Israeli reservists.

At the start of the 1967 Six-Day War (June 5-10) between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations, a team of eight Israeli commandos, with their female boat captain in tow, are sent on a suicide mission deep into the Sinai to destroy an important Arab radar station at Sharm El Sheikh to pave way for the main invading Israeli forces.—matt-282

Cpt. Uri Littman and seven men under his command are sent on a mission to take out an Egyptian radar station in the Sinai during the opening stages of the Six-Day War. This preemptive strike will allow the Israeli jet fighters to hit the neighbor's airfields swiftly and without detection. To reach their destination, the soldiers have to use a yacht along with its friendly female owner. However, the following desert trek will certainly prove to be equally perilous and deadly.—Larry B.
