About The Master Plan
Following WW II, a U.S. army officer stationed in West Germany is assigned with keeping classified information away from the Communists. Unfortunately, Red spies know that he suffers from sudden black-outs and use this to hypnotise him, and make it appear that he is a traitor.
Directed by Cy Endfield, The Master Plan leans on a strong ensemble — Norman Wooland, Tilda Thamar, Wayne Morris — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1954.
