"During WW2, German supply ships are safely docked upriver at Bordeaux, but the British send a team of Royal Marine kayakers to destroy them. This movie is based on a real life mission during the war. It shows the men that are recruited, how they are trained and then the exciting but dangerous mission they have to achieve. It also underlines the extent to which brave and resourceful men and women in time of war can be called upon to undertake huge risks with little payoff, thought up or approved"
