On the eighth of November 1942, Winston Churchill and his double are passengers aboard a British airplane destined for Casablanca, but it is intercepted by German bomber and forced to land in Algiers. A special train known as the Casablanca Express is hastily prepared to transport them overland to Casablanca. The Nazis discover the plan, and the train is captured in a daring commando raid. While Churchill makes it safely though to Casablanca, his double remains aboard the train as a decoy. The Allies prepare a counter move and entrust Captain Al Cooper (Jason Connery) with this difficult task of freeing the man whom the Nazis believe to be the real Prime Minister. Although the operation cost the lives of many men, suspicions of the German Commend must not be aroused... the Allied plan must to be carried out to the end! (official distributor synopsis)
