A British team is sent to cross occupied Greek territory and destroy the massive German gun emplacement that commands a key sea channel. Two powerful German guns control the seas past the Greek island of Navarone making the evacuation of endangered British troops on a neighboring island impossible. Air attack is useless so a team of six Allied and Greek soldiers is put ashore to meet up with partisans to try and dynamite the guns. The mission is perilous enough anyway but are the Germans on the island getting further help too?. "The Guns of Navarone" is a very powerful picture. It's definitely not the cliche war picture I'm used to. In a few long scenes, it uses action rather than dialogue to convey the story. It's an excellent illustration of people who put their personal likes and dislikes aside to accomplish a mission. The action scenes are done well and look surprisingly realistic. Wonderful performances by all of the actors and actresses. this movie was very good and had a good story. however there was a mistake (AS WELL AS MY POSSIBLE SPELLING MISTAKES). when the wermacht officer was interrogating the group who were going to blow up the guns of navarone, about the explosives he asks the ss captain (sessler) a question. the mistake was when the wermacht officer asked the question he addressed the captain as HAUPTMANN sessler, which is the correct term for a captain in the German army. but he was in the ss, the correct term should have been HAUPTSTURMFUHRER sessler. besides this minor mistake the movie was very good and entertaining and this was the most obvious mistake about the movie.<br/><br/>-although there could have been some more mistakes, but known that i was aware of.
