Jack Hyde

A problematic bum gets caught in a crypto scheme.

En 1944, le Lieutenant Campbell est en charge du Red Ball Express, un convoi de camions transportant des munitions, de l'essence et des soldats vers le front. Un jour, lui et ses hommes perdent contact avec les blindés américains se rendant en Allemagne alors qu'ils étaient censés les réapprovisionner... De plus, il doit gérer des problèmes de racisme parmi les membres de sa troupe.

This historical drama tells the story of the first class to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. In the early 19th Century, Congress appropriated the money to build the school, but opponents who believed it to be an illegitimate expansion of the powers of the federal government decided to sabotage the school. They put the hard-as-nails Major Sam Carter in charge of the academy, and he ruthlessly put the recruits through grueling training -- until only ten prospective soldiers remained. They include Dawson, a patriotic farm boy and Howard Shelton, a selfish playboy who has come to West Point only because of its prestige. The two vie for Carolyn Bainbridge, while they, along with the other eight, try convince Carter that the school is worth keeping.
