Directed by Rod Lurie, 2026, USA, Rated R, 102 minutes
Inspired by true events during the Battle of the Bulge, Lucky Strike stars Scott Eastwood as an American soldier stranded behind enemy lines during Nazi Germany’s final major offensive of World War II. Wounded and separated from his unit, he must travel through freezing, hostile territory with an early Motorola SCR-300 radio as his only lifeline, relying on instinct, intelligence, and improvised spycraft to survive and help thwart the advancing German forces. Colin Hanks, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Taylor John Smith co-star in director Rod Lurie’s tense wartime survival drama. The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus praised the film for presenting its “straightforward tale of survival with solid suspense,” calling it “a respectable tribute to wartime heroism.”
