The Hill
1965 · 123 MIN · IMDB 7.8 · 15,801 VOTES · DIR. Sidney Lumet
Overview
North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective. It's The Hill, a manmade instrument of torture, a tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun. And the troops' tormentors are not the enemy, but their own comrades-at-arms.
