As the Allied forces approach Paris in August 1944, a German Colonel is desperate to take all of France's greatest paintings to Germany.

The station master, Labiche (Burt Lancaster), is tasked with scheduling the train and making it all happen smoothly. Hold on a second though - he is also part of a dwindling group of resistance fighters trying to prevent the theft! He and others stage an elaborate ruse to keep the train from ever leaving French territory. "Why not? What can they lose? This morning we had four men left in this group. Now we have three. One, two, three." Directed by John Frankenheimer. (1964)
