Napoleon's forces are sweeping across Europe, and Spain is on the brink of falling to the mighty invasion. Standing alone against the onslaught is Miguel and his band of guerilla fighters. Seizing a gigantic cannon, Miguel plans to batter the walls of French-occupied Avila, but because he's untrained in complex weaponry, he must rely on Trumbell, A British naval captain, to operate the cannon. Allies on the battlefield, the cultured Trumbell and the rough-edged Miguel soon find themselves in a bitter struggle over Miguel's mistress, a sultry beauty drawn to the captain's refined ways. Tensions rise...until both men realize that they must put passion aside as they head toward the most harrowing battle of their lives. Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren star in this "tense, absorbing [and] suspenseful" (The Hollywood Reporter) wartime classic.

An intrepid band of resistance fighters battle for Spanish independence in 1810. In order to achieve their objective, they must first haul a six-ton cannon across the wide expanse of Spain's mountains.
