Based on the real life story of David Marcus. Kirk Douglas plays Colonel
Marcus, an American Army officer who is recruited by supporters of a not-yet-born Israel
to help them form an army. He is made commander of the Israeli forces just before the war
begins and has to devise a defense against the combined Arab world who have vowed to
destroy the infant nation. Great true-life story of how an American-born Jew and soldier
became the first Israeli general since David! Features cameo appearance of John Wayne as
General Mike Randolph.
