Plot Synopsis
Storyline
The theme is the founding of the state of Israel. The action begins on a ship filled with Jewish immigrants bound for Israel who are being off loaded on Cyprus. An Intelligence officer succeeds in getting them back on board their ship only to have the harbor blocked by the British with whom they must negotiate. The second part of the film is about the situation in Israel as independence is declared and most of their neighbors attack them. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

It's difficult to know what the thinking was behind this film. From the miscasting to the dull representation of what is, to the Jewish people, the culmination of an historical quest for independence and freedom.
The movie is so uninformative, considering its length, and so relentlessly tepid that one can only put the blame, perhaps, on the stilted and bland Hollywood mindset of the 1950's.
Why all the blonds? Why are the most powerful elements of the struggle so inept and hazy? The film looks like an uninspired TV Movie and it commits the most grievous of Sins. It does not entertain or enlighten the audience. It is just boring beyond belief.
