Briscoe (Douglas) and his men (Adams and Walker, jr.) capture an enemy pilot (Enrique Magalona) who's just bombed a hospital and school. Ordered to execute the soldier, the three Americans come into conflict over the difference between killing a man in combat and shooting an unarmed prisoner of war. Based on the French novel L'Hamecon and directed by two-time Academy Award winner" George Seaton, The Hook also features a musical score composed and played by the legendary harmonica virtuoso Larry Adler.
