Film Kelly’s Heroes (1970)

Like M*A*S*H and Catch-22, this military comedy comments on the modern insanity of war. Clint Eastwood stars as Kelly, a former lieutenant disillusioned by the reality of combat.

Discovering a treasure of gold bars behind enemy lines, Kelly assembles a team to retrieve it on a three-day mission. The group includes characters like Big Joe, Crapgame, and Oddball, each with their unique quirks and talents.

Their journey is filled with challenges as they navigate enemy territory. General Colt mistakes them for heroes, adding to the humor and tension of the plot.

The film offers a blend of drama, action, adventure, war, and comedy. Rated PG, it presents a satirical take on the effects of war and the pursuit of wealth amidst chaos.
