Raid on Rommel is a 1971 American war film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Richard Burton, John Colicos, Clinton Greyn, Danielle De Metz and Wolfgang Preiss. The film centers on a British commando attempting to destroy German gun emplacements in Tobruk.
Originally intended as a made-for-television film, Raid on Rommel extensively reuses action footage from 1967's Tobruk, and the storyline is also largely the same. The film was released by Universal Pictures on February 12, 1971, and was both a critical and commercial failure.
