In World War II a group of art enthusiasts, including a professor from the United States, join with Europeans and some men from other countries to try to get back precious valuable art stolen from museums, churches, and private owners by the Nazis. They all join the United States army to do so. This is a true story. Some of the art recovered were masterpieces from Rembrandt, Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. Unfortunately the Germans, in their retreat, destroyed a lot of precious art by the selfish and narcissistic orders of Hitler. Two of the men lost their lives trying to gain back some of this art; George Clooney, John Goodman, Matt Damon.
