Rogue Heroes EPIX Premiere Sunday November 13
Early 1941. Germany and the other Axis powers are winning the conflict over control of North Africa. After being told to stand down after yet another unsuccessful operation, Lieutenant David Stirling, an eccentric young officer serving with 8 Commando, grows increasingly enraged with the military authorities and their handling of the current strategy.
Lt. Robert Blair “Paddy” Mayne, who is currently “detained” in a military prison, and Lt. John “Jock” Lewes, who is fighting in the besieged city of Tobruk, both share the same frustration. Lewes, however, has an idea he’d like to discuss that involves parachutes.
Lewes thinks Rommel made a bad decision. Because of how quickly he moved and how far his supply line extended, coastal airfields are vulnerable to attack. Lewes suggests to Stirling that instead of launching their assault from the sea, where an attack is expected, the enemy forces should be caught off guard, with a desert attack, says Stirling.
There is just one problem. They need to show that the concept of a parachute drop in the desert is sound before the mission can be approved. With their customary bravado and slyness, the two set about making their first attempt at parachuting into the vast sea of sand. When the jump unexpectedly goes wrong, is their plan about to fail?
