The movie I watched was The Last Escape.

The movie is about an American officer and a group of British soldiers who are ordered to capture a German scientist. The scientist was in on it and arranged for his colleagues to come along with them. When they arrived at the rendezvous point, they find out that they brought their families along with them. The Captin who is American is not happy about this because the plane that is supposed to take them to the Allies is not big enough to carry all of them. The British Lieutenant talks him into letting them come by saying they will be his responsiblity. When they reach their destination, the plane is shot down.

After the plane is shot down, they decide to drive to the next contact that are stationed farther down to help them get to the allies incase something went wrong. The Germans and Russians are following them because everyone wants the scientist, because he is the best rocket scientist around. The only American in the group discovered that one of the scientist or the realitives is selling them out to the Russians and somehow giving them their location. When the finally reach the last check point they discover that the Germans are right behind them and that they are too fast, so the group can't outrun them. With the help of the Russians the Germans are defeated and they are able to cross over the river and onto the allies side.

I thought the movie was good but confusing, because the movie was half in German, Russian and English with no subtitles. The movie plot was easy to follow, but the movie itself was hard to follow at times.
