The Dirty Dozen -- Oscar-winner Lee Marvin leads a group of 12 hardened convicts on a suicide mission deep into Nazi Germany.

Oscar-winner Lee Marvin ("Cat Ballou") leads a group of 12 hardened convicts on a suicide mission deep into Nazi Germany. Award-winning action picture stars Charles Bronson ("Death Wish"), Emmy-winner Telly Savalas ("Kelly's Heroes," TV's "Kojak"), Oscar-winner George Kennedy ("Cool Hand Luke," TV's "Dallas"), Donald Sutherland ("Outbreak," "JFK"), Ernest Borgnine (TV's "McHale's Navy," "Marty," TV's "The Single Guy"), and football legend Jim Brown ("Mars Attacks!"), and earned John Cassavetes an Oscar. A box office hit, it spawned several sequels and a TV series.

Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage and a fictional narrative, Stuart Cooper's immersive account of one twenty-year-old's journey from basic training to the front lines of D-Day brings all the terrors and isolation of war to life with jolting authenticity. OVERLORD, impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrick's longtime cinematographer John Alcott, is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on man's smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.
