Morituri DVD

Set during World War 2, this captivating drama stars Marlon Brando as a German war deserter blackmailed into conducting an apparent suicide mission for the British. Forced to pose as an SS officer, Robert Crain must seize a German freighter booby-trapped to explode upon capture. Complicating the situation, sixteen prisoners of war are also brought on board, including a beautiful young concentration camp survivor. Brando delivers a brilliant performance, and Yul Brynner shines as the ship's captain. A tension-filled, action-packed espionage drama that also features a stunning appearance by Trevor Howard, Morituri will keep you riveted until its last powerful scene.
