When a U.S. reconnaissance plane crashes, Sgt. Saunders' men race a German patrol to recover the pilot and his film. The Americans get there first, but carrying the wounded airman on a stretcher over heavily wooded hills slows them down. The wily German Sgt. Beckman (James Caan) and his squad counter Saunders' every trick.
