Review
"As a film, it is riveting, suspenseful, harrowing and exciting, and somehow, it also manages to be something rare among war pictures-a big-scale entertainment."--Rex Reed"...a worthy theme and plenty of things to reward adult moviegoers."--New York Post"(An) engaging, shamelessly corny and entertaining World War II adventure inspired by true events."--Richard Roeper

Summary
An unlikely World War II platoon has been tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. With the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could they possibly succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time, they would risk their lives to protect mankind's greatest achievements
