Where Eagles Dare is a 1968 World War II action (Action film)-adventure (Adventure film) spy film starring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, and Mary Ure. It was directed by Brian G. Hutton and shot on location in Austria (Upper Austria) and Bavaria.

Best-selling author Alistair MacLean wrote the novel and the screenplay of Where Eagles Dare at the same time. It was his first screenplay; both film and book became commercial successes.

The production, which hired some of the top moviemaking professionals of the period, is considered a classic of its genre. Major contributors included Yakima Canutt, the legendary Hollywood stuntman, who as second-unit director shot most of the action scenes, famed British stuntman Alf Joint (Alfred Joint) who doubled for Burton in some of the most thrilling sequences such as the aerial fight on top of the cable car, award-winning (Ivor Novello Awards) conductor and composer Ron Goodwin who wrote the film score and future Oscar-nominee (Academy Awards), Arthur Ibbetson who worked on its cinematography.
