ThePlot
In England, in the spring of 1944, Allied forces are preparing for the D-Day invasion. Among them are Major John Reisman (Lee Marvin), an OSS officer; his commander, Regular Army Major General Worden (Ernest Borgnine), and his former commander Colonel Everett Dasher Breed (Robert Ryan). Early in the film the personalities of the three men are shown to clash and the characters of the individualistic Reisman and the domineering Breed are established.
Major Reisman is assigned an unusual and top-secret pre-invasion mission: take twelve soldiers convicted of felony offenses, either serving prison sentences or condemned to death, and turn them into a unit capable of carrying out a specific task. They are to infiltrate a château near Rennes, in Brittany, used as a retreat for senior Wehrmacht officers, on the eve of the invasion. Without having complete intelligence as to the identity of the guests, it was felt that the elimination of officers in the German high command or senior staff could cripple or confuse the German military's ability to respond at the time of crisis. It is quickly established that both Reisman and the generals with whom he frequently clashes consider the mission to be a suicidal long shot. After a long period of convincing and training the men, they are deployed to attack a chateau in France, housing German commanders, intending to disrupt the German command structure. After the parachute drop, the dozen discover that Jiminez broke his neck on landing. The others then proceed to the chateau, whilst eliminating several German officers, stealing their car. The Dozen then launch their attack, in which they are picked off one by one. Maggott betrays the dozen and kills a German woman, only to be shot dead. The others see that the German officers and their wives have fled into an underground bunker only accessible by several air vents, through which the dozen drop grenades and gasoline, which is then ignited, killing all the officers, but also all the women. The remaining members of the dozen then escape in a German Halftrack. the film then cuts to a scene where the survivors are shown to be Major Reisman, Sergeant Bowren and Wladislaw.
