About this product

Product Information

A perfect example of what critic Manny Farber once described as "termite art"--that which burrows under and gets inside its subject rather than indulging in rhetoric--HELL IS FOR HEROES stars Steve McQueen as the rebellious G.I. John Reese. In the fall of 1944, he's busted from staff sergeant back to private for drunkenness and is sent back to his former outfit, currently stationed near the Siegfried Line in Montigny. Reese's bitterness about his demotion isolates him from the rest of the squad, although they've observed his courage under fire in previous combat missions. When the unit is assigned to defend an area facing a German pillbox, Reese's skills become evident. He advises squad leader Sgt. Larkin (Harry Guardino) on a ruse that creates the illusion that their unit is much larger than it is, temporarily deflecting an attack. The squad has been ordered to simply hold their ground, but believing it's only a matter of time before the Germans discover that they've been deceived, Reese leads an attack on the pillbox. McQueen is excellent in this solid, realistic grunt's-eye-view of combat, which suggests that sociopaths make the best soldiers. James Coburn and Mike Kellin do fine work, and Bob Newhart is featured in a strangely anomalous comic turn.

  • Still a good war movie.

    "Hell is for Heroes" is about an under- strength platoon of American soldiers who must hold their positions on the Siegfried Line against superior German forces. They must use their wits to survive. Steve McQueen stars as a loner for whom rules and regulations are of little value. The supporting cast includes James Coburn, Bobby Darin, Fess Parker, Nick Adams, and Bob Newhart. This is a gritty portrayal of World WarII combat. There is no glory here. Released in 1962, this remains a worthwhile film. I like this film because I have always been a fan of Steve McQueen,and believe that he gives a very good performance. There is really nothing terribly wrong with this movie, except that it is quite violent.
