The Eagle Has Landed

At precisely 1a.m. on the morning of Saturday, November 6, 1943, a simple message was received in Berlin by Heinrich Himmier, Reichsfuher of the SS and Chief of State Police. The message was: "The Eagle Has Landed". These four words shattered the peace of an English village as German paratroopers dropped from the sky to snatch the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, bring him back to Germany. The explosive events of Jack Higgins' international best seller are seen in a film of taut suspense and sweeping action. © ITC Entertainment
