Force 10 From Navarone was a sequel to the 1961 blockbuster The Guns of Navarone and tells the tale of ten widely divergent WW II troubleshooters who attempt to blow up a crucial bridge in Yugoslavia.... read more read more... As in the first Navarone film, one of the guerillas is a traitor: group leader Mallory (Robert Shaw) knows the identity of the turncoat, but can't prove it until it's almost too late. The beautiful female resistance leader is played by Barbara Bach, while Harrison Ford, fresh from his Star Wars success, is the romantic lead. Others in the cast include Edward Fox, Franco Nero and Alan Badel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Your typical bank holiday afternoon flick which you watch cos you have nothing much else to do haha
    Classic cast....Ford, Shaw, Nero, Kiel, Bach, Weathers etc.. in a daring WW2 mission much on the form of all other war flicks of the time, nothing wrong with that but its very pred... read moreictable and full of wooden German soldier acting and plenty of now dated looking effects.

    Very much the same type of star studded war flick like The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare, this was a big release and popular stuff yrs ago, based on a MacClean novel and a good boys own adventure its pretty much for the guys only haha

    Carl Weathers early performance is a treat to behold haha ;) really.

    Exciting action-adventure sequel to the classic Guns of Navarome with cool cast including my favourite number one idol, Harrison Ford.

    The idea of a sequel to The Guns Of Navarone (that has nothing at all to do with it) sounds deeply unpromising, but this is a reasonably efficient WWII action film. Unspectacular but inoffensive.

    Classic! - One of Harrison Ford's better movies outside Star Wars and Indy.

    Along with superman,grease . BEST FILM OF 1978 ! pure entertainment. I prefer the pan-scan version on the filp side DVD instead of the widescreen version. different music cues, voice dubbing or voice overs makes the pacing seem faster & the tone slightly different. strong perfor... read moremaces through out .

    It could have been worse... but it would have been difficult. Actors and shooting are bordering very decent but the script has to be one of the least inspired and consequential one ever produced by the MGM. The worse is certainly that it bears no relationship with the original, j... read moreust for that they should all be thrown to the Tchekniks!

    A WW-II movie based on a novel of the same name by Alistair Maclean. The final action sequence is amazingly shot.

    Cheesy, horrible special effects but Harrison Ford, Carl Weathers and the rest of the cast make it happen! A Classic.

    You really cannot go wrong with any movie that stars Robert Shaw, Harrison Ford, Barbara Bach and Edward Fox and this movie - although blasted by the critics upon its release really is a great war movie.
    Many saw this as a dissapointment due to its attachment to the Guns of Nav... read morearone, but if it is taken up on its own merits then one can see that this is really nothing more than a fun movie for funs sake, no serious character studies here and the movie is all the better for it.
    Bond fans will notice a number of actors in this movie that had already occupied roles in the Bond franchise or would go on to appesar in the series. In addition to Shaw (from "From Russia With Love") and Bach (who was fresh off playing the Russian spy Anya Amasova in "The Spy Who Loved Me") and Edward Fox (who would go on to play M in the rogue 007 movie "Never Say Never Again") there is also Bach's co-star from "The Spy Who Loved Me" Richard Kiel, who was riding high as somewhat of a cultural icon (hey, he appeared in a Shredded Wheat TV commercial) after playing Jaws.
    I suppose the Bond connection is most apparent in the choice of director with "Goldfinger"'s director Guy Hamilton handling the honors.
    The plot of the movie is also very different from the MacLean book, but some good Boy's Own adventure. Shaw plays Mallory (yes the same character that Gregory Peck played in the original) and he and Fox's character (who was played by David Niven in the original) are sent into Yugoslavia to identify and kill a traitor from the first movie. So, they hop a ride along with Force 10 (headed by Ford's character) who are headed to the same location with the mission of destroying a key, strategic bridge. Of coursre things do not go entirely to plan, and soon the action begins to come thick and fast.
    A movie that would get a lot more respect if it didn't have the name "Navarone" attached to it.

    Engaging but somewhat lengthy WWII drama starring Harrison Ford and Robert Shaw. Edward Fox's performance stands out. Harrison fights the German's better with a whip and fedora.

To say it's action-packed is an understatement

Shannon J. Harvey, Sunday Times (Australia)

A very cool, unpretentious war film about a mission to blow up a dam.

Entertaining war flick shadowed by superior original.

A guilty pleasure to be sure, but Ford is great and Robert Shaw's final speech is irresistible.
