Spoilers ahead

During World War II, German SS officers stumble upon ancient ruins that cradle stone gargoyles, and they try to awaken their power by pouring blood over the statues to fight the advancing Allied forces. The plan backfires in brutal fashion: the gargoyles turn on their masters, slaughter the Nazis, and then descend upon nearby French villages, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. An American bomber crew aboard the legendary “Grey Ghost,” led by Major John Gustafson, [Joe Penny], is caught in the maelstrom and brutalized by the flying guardians, resulting in a crash that scatters the survivors across a war-torn landscape.
