The Rat Patrol (1966)

Episode Overview

Two thousand Allied soldiers find themselves cornered by German artillery, with their only hope for salvation hinging on an armored offensive. The vital equipment required can only reach them through an ancient road, buried beneath sand and known only to Moffitt's father. However, on the way to the rendezvous, Moffitt's father's plane crashes. Moffitt is determined to search for him, but Troy insists they focus on locating the road first. Ignoring Troy, Moffitt sets off and discovers the wreckage of the plane. While Troy believes Moffitt's father is dead, Moffitt insists he’s been captured. Undeterred, Moffitt ventures out again and ultimately manages to rescue his father.
