The Hill (1965)
North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective. It's The Hill, a manmade instrument of torture, a tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun. And the troops' tormentors are not the enemy, but their own comrades-at-arms. prison, libya, sadism, africa, world war ii, heat, british army, sahara desert, military prison, punishment, torture, soldier, cruelty, desert, libyan desert, drill instructor, military, north africa, hill, insubordination, 1940s, drill sergeant
