John Frankenheimer - The train - 1964
In July, 1944, in front of the advance of the Allies on Paris, the nazis decide to evacuate the inestimable masterpieces of the Parisian museums to transfer them in Germany. A person in charge of museums warns the local Resistance to try to oppose to this plunder. Labiche, leader of a group of resistant railroad employees, does not agree very much with this affair and wonders why to risk the life of his men to save paintings. Nevertheless, in front of the exactions of the occupier and after the execution of an old railroad employee of his sector, he decides to implement everything so that the railroad convoy transporting paintings does not reach destination. The final scene of the movie will answer the question to know why he and his men did make it.
