Eccentric Cambridge archaeologist Horatio Smith takes a group of British and American archaeology students to pre-war Nazi Germany to help in his excavations.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A clever spy thriller dressed up as an archaeological expedition, where an eccentric British academic outwits the Nazis by hiding his dangerous rescue operations in plain sight. It's a wartime adventure that balances wit and high stakes, with the thrill coming from how audaciously the hero maneuvers under the Gestapo's nose.
