The Gantlet

Captured by Germans, Saunders is aboard a prison train bound for Germany. He escapes and is saddled with Sgt. Decker (Tom Skerritt), who would have been content to sit out the war in a POW camp. Saunders is hounded by dogs, wounded, and, in a German uniform, taken to a German aid station where he trips on morphine and tries to run again.
