Kelly's Heroes is an offbeat 1970 film starring Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland about a group of renegade U.S. Army soldiers who attempt to steal a cache of gold from behind the German lines during World War II. The screenplay was written by highly-respected British film and television writer Troy Kennedy Martin.

Tagline: They set out to rob a bank... and damn near won a war instead!

Directed by Brian G. Hutton, who also directed the 1968 WW II drama Where Eagles Dare, the film is virtually a who's who of Hollywood at that time - in addition to Eastwood and Sutherland, it starred Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and (Harry) Dean Stanton.
