The Dirty Dozen

Thursday, January 9 - Tuesday, January 14, 2025

As D-Day approaches, Colonel Breed hands the roguish Major Reisman (Lee Marvin) an important assignment: He must train a team of soldiers to parachute across enemy lines and assassinate German personnel at a French chateau. The soldiers, recruited from murderers, rapists and criminals on death row, are promised commuted sentences. In spite of their history, the 12 men prove a spirited and courageous unit. Led by Major Reisman, they will exact revenge.

“One of the smash hits of its year, this action-packed war movie is violent and amoral, and fans would say all the better for it.” – Radio Times
