What is Breakthrough about?
Burton...Mitchum...Steiger...Enemies...Yet Allies In Combat With Destiny!. Starting in late May 1944, during the German retreat on the Eastern Front, Captain Stransky (Helmut Griem) orders Sergeant Steiner (Richard Burton) to blow up a railway tunnel to prevent Russian forces from using it. Steiner's platoon fails in its mission by coming up against a Russian tank. Steiner then takes a furlough to Paris just as the Allies launch their invasion of Normandy. It blends drama, history, war elements. The film reflects a distinct Germany style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Andrew V. McLaglen. With a runtime of 1h 33m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
