Dove osano le aquile (1969) in streaming su altadefinizione A capo di un commando britannico, John Smith deve penetrare in un inaccessibile castello sulle Alpi bavaresi per liberare un generale americano prigioniero dei tedeschi. Nel gruppo di valorosi si è infiltrato il nemico, e Smith deve guardarsi soprattutto da lui per portare a termine una missione il cui vero, sorprendente, significato gli si rivela però solo nel finale.
Lo sceneggiatore Alistair McLean ricucina molti ingredienti di un altro suo copione (quello de _I cannoni di Navarone_): ne esce un film poco verosimile, ma godibile sul piano spettacolare. Clint Eastwood era al suo primo film che non fosse uno spaghetti-western.
