Kelly’s Heroes (1970) is a war comedy film directed by Brian G. Hutton, set during World War II. The film features an ensemble cast, including Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland, and Carroll O’Connor. It blends action, humor, and a heist plot, making it a unique entry in the war film genre.

The story follows a group of American soldiers in France who, during a lull in combat, stumble upon information about a hidden cache of Nazi gold worth $16 million. Led by the cunning and resourceful Private Kelly (played by Clint Eastwood), the group decides to go rogue and steal the gold for themselves. To carry out the heist, Kelly recruits an eclectic team, including a gruff sergeant named Big Joe (Telly Savalas), a cynical supply sergeant (Don Rickles), and an eccentric tank commander nicknamed Oddball (Donald Sutherland).

As they make their way behind enemy lines, the soldiers face various challenges, including battles with German forces and the logistical difficulties of pulling off such a daring heist in the midst of war. Along the way, the film delivers a mix of comedic moments, tense action sequences, and satirical commentary on the absurdities of war.
