Kelly's Heroes is a movie from 1970, directed by Brian G. Hutton and starring such noteable actors as Clint Eastwood, Terry Savallas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor and Donald Sutherland. The movie was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with the help of the Yugoslavian production company Avala Film (as the movie was shot entirely on location in former Yugolslavia). The genre would best be described as war movie/comedy and the story is set during World War II, when Ex-Lieutenant Kelly learns of a German bank located behind enemy lines containing 16 million dollars in gold bars. His platoon, led by Big Joe, has three days of R&R coming, so, with the aid of hustler Crapgame, anachronistic hippie Oddball, three Sherman tanks and a touch of irreverence, Kelly leads his men deep into French territory to steal the gold for themselves.

It's a highly enjoyable movie, and it inspired us to start our clan. I can definitely recommend it!
