North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective. It's The Hill, a manmade instrument of torture, a tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun. And the troops' tormentors are not the enemy, but their own comrades-at-arms.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless, punishing ordeal that watches soldiers pushed to breaking point by their own officers in the desert heat. The film is a pressure cooker of sadism and endurance with no mercy.
