"Utterly absorbing and superbly crafted! A classic war picture." -Los Angeles Times

There's dissension in the ranks during the Battle of the Bulge! Oscar winner Jack Palance and Oscar nominee Eddie Albert star in this "tightly directed" (Leonard Maltin) and "gritty film [that] packs a wallop" (Blockbuster Entertainment Guide). "Prepare to take a tight grip on the arms of your seat" (Los Angeles Times)-the power of Attack! will rattle you!

When Lieutenant Joe Costa (Palance) learns that his men died because the commander, Captain Cooney (Albert), was too much of a coward to join the fight, Costa issues a serious warning: Don't let it happen again! But Cooney's cowardice forces Costa into a fateful choice: continue to risk the lives of his men...or take the life of the captain!
