L’épopée héroïque et invraisemblable d’une bande de soldats anglais face à l’Allemagne nazie : le SAS, Special Air Service. Été 1941. Au plus fort de la guerre dans le désert occidental, David Stirling, un jeune officier, a une idée folle, un nouveau plan d’attaque : surprendre l’ennemi là où il s’y attend le moins, derrière ses propres lignes. Malgré l’opposition du haut commandement britannique, il parvient à recruter des personnages éclectiques ― d’un international de rugby à un cultivateur de tomates ― qui, tous, veulent de l’action et s’affranchir des règles.
