English Summary:

Cross of Iron (German: Steiner – Das Eiserne Kreuz, lit. "Steiner – The Iron Cross") is a 1977 war film directed by Sam Peckinpah, featuring James Coburn, Maximilian Schell, James Mason and David Warner. Set on the Eastern Front in World War II during the Soviets' Caucasus operations against the German Kuban bridgehead on the Taman Peninsula in late 1943, the film focuses on the class conflict between a newly arrived, aristocratic Prussian officer who covets winning the Iron Cross and a cynical, battle-hardened infantry NCO.

An international co-production between British and West German financiers. Exteriors were shot on location in Yugoslavia. The film is notable for using a significant number of authentic tanks and equipment.

PLOT:

The movie opens with a German children's song, "Hänschen klein", mixed with black-and-white footage of prewar and war scenes. It then segues to colour and a German platoon raid on a Russian forward outpost led by Sergeant Rolf Steiner (James Coburn), during which his men capture a Russian boy-soldier (Slavko Štimac).

An aristocratic Prussian officer, Captain von Stransky (Maximilian Schell), is posted as a new company commander in the Kuban bridgehead on the Eastern Front in 1943. Stransky proudly tells the regimental commander, Colonel Brandt (James Mason), and his adjutant, Captain Kiesel (David Warner), that he applied for transfer from occupied France to front line duty in Russia so that he can win the Iron Cross.

 

Hungarian Summary:

1943-at írunk. A keleti fronton az orosz csapatok hatalmas ellentámadásra készülnek, hogy a német állásokat áttörve meginduljanak Berlin felé. Az elsõ vonalban szolgálatot teljesítõ, feladatát remekül végzõ, ám a háborút és még inkább a nácikat gyûlölõ Steiner õrmester (James Coburn) és harcedzett csapata is készül a visszafordíthatatlanra: az elsöprõ orosz támadásra. Váratlanul új felettest kap a hithû náci és csak az elõléptetésért taposó Kranksi százados (Maximillian Schell) személyében, aki aztán a hõn áhított, dicsõséget hozó Vaskereszt megszerzése érdekében bármibe képes belevinni a katonáit. A harcok során Steiner és társai végül elszakadnak a fõ német erõktõl és mélyen a front, az ellenséges vonalak mögött találják magukat. Tudják, hogy egy esélyük van a túlélésre: trükkökkel, csellel át kell törniük az övéikhez, ám ha még sikerül is a lehetetlennek tûnõ akció, akkor is szembe kell majd nézniük legnagyobb ellenségükkel, a saját felettesükkel...
