Produced by Tim Gray Media and narrated by TV stalwart David McCallum (The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and NCIS), this riveting documentary tells the remarkable story of the U.S. Army's 2nd Ranger battalion, which, on June 6, 1944, scaled the 100-foot cliffs of Pointe-du-Hoc in Normandy to destroy six menacing German cannons thought to be located there. For Operation Overlord to succeed, the 155mm guns, situated halfway between Omaha and Utah Beaches and within firing range of the planned Allied assault, needed to be eliminated. But to accomplish that goal, courageous men were sent on what many believed was a suicide mission.
