Packaged and sold as an outdoor actioner, Many Rivers to Cross is as much a comedy as anything else. Robert Taylor stars as 18th century trapper Bushrod Gentry, who is himself entrapped into marriage by the spunky Mary Stuart Cherne (Eleanor Parker). Escaping his marital responsibilities (which were impressed upon him on threat of death), Gentry heads into the North Country, with Mary in hot pursuit. Hero and heroine spend the rest of the picture taking turns rescuing each other from hostile Indians. Some of the humor is predicated upon the wholesale slaughter of the "redskins", and as such is a bit hard to take when seen today. Supporting Taylor and Parker are Victor McLaglen as the heroine's burly father, and TV-stars-to be James Arness (Gunsmoke) and Russell Johnson and Alan Hale Jr. (Gilligan's Island).

Um esquadrão da divisão 101st Airborne fica encurralado na cidade sitiada de Bastogne durante a Batalha do Bulge. Nós acompanhamos um grupo de soldados norte-americanos, como eles lutam com os alemães, em um nevado e nebuloso inverno, perto Bastogne na II Guerra Mundial. Eles estão com pouco combustível, rações e munição. Os alemães estão constantemente incentivando a sua rendição via rádio e folhetos. E mais importante, o nevoeiro espesso e abrangente dificulta a movimentação e identificação do inimigo e impede a ajuda pelo apoio aéreo aliado. Este filme centra-se muito mais sobre a psicologia e moral dos soldados do que em cenas de ação e heroísmo.
