On the eve of the Normandy Invasion, 15 American paratroopers board a transport plane to France. Their order: Secure the bridge that leads to Utah Beach. Overshooting the drop zone, the platoon must cross 20 miles of occupied territory held by 300 German soldiers if they're to accomplish their mission in time. Based on an original story by two-time Oscar nominee Virginia Kellogg, Screaming Eagles features a cast of soon-to-be-famous young actors, including Tom Tryon (The Cardinal), Martin Milner (Route 66), Alvy Moore (Green Acres Hank Kimball), Robert Blake (Baretta), Paul Burke (12 O'Clock High), Mark Damon (House of Usher) and Miss France 1954, Jacqueline Beer (77 Sunset Strip).
