Set in North Africa and Europe immediately following World War II, The Hell with Heroes centers on two former U.S. Air Force pilots played by Rod Taylor and Pete Duel. Brynie MacKay (Taylor) and Mike Brewer (Duel) are forced to work for ruthless international smuggler Lee Harris (Harry Guardino) to get money needed for their return to civilian life. But when Brynie learns he is flying contraband cigarettes, he extracts a larger fee from Harris, who retaliates by hiding narcotics in Brynie’s plane and then reporting him to Colonel Wilson of U.S. Counterintelligence (Kevin McCarthy). With Brynie’s aircraft and money now seized, the beautiful Elena (Claudia Cardinale), Harris’s mistress, comes to Brynie’s aid. (Kino Lorber)
