The Hill 1965

During World War II, five British soldiers find themselves trapped in a harsh Libyan detention camp. Sergeant Major Roberts' conviction casts a shadow over their situation, and as punishment, they are forced to repeatedly climb a steep, man-made hill under the scorching desert sun. Staff Sergeant Williams, a merciless and cruel leader, dictates their grueling ordeal, testing their physical and mental endurance. The soldiers must confront not only the punishing conditions but also the question of whether compassion or despair will ultimately define their survival.
