1944年8月,巴顿的第三军进入法国,为了保持这一势头,盟军总部建立了一个精锐军用卡车运输路线。取名红球速递计划,运输兵们绕过敌人的口袋,雷场执行着日益危险的任务,为前线运送燃料、弹药..August 1944: proceeding with the invasion of France, Patton's Third Army has advanced so far toward Paris that it cannot be supplied. To keep up the momentum, Allied HQ establishes an elite military truck route. One (racially integrated) platoon of this Red Ball Express encounters private enmities, bypassed enemy pockets, minefields, and increasingly perilous missions, leavened by a touch of comedy.
