Where Eagles Dare
Castle infiltration mission
Where Eagles Dare is a 1968 World War II adventure film starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, involving a daring rescue mission at a mountaintop Nazi fortress.
The title, from a line about eagles nesting in inaccessible places, has become shorthand for audacious, high-risk operations or ventures into dangerous territory: This merger is where eagles dare—one wrong move and we're done.
