Plot

As World War II draws closer to its bitter end, the remnants of Germany stand defiant amidst the rubble, refusing to surrender. The US army, desperate for crucial intelligence on the enemy forces lurking across the Rhine, hatches a daring plan. They decide to send two German prisoners, "Tiger" and "Happy," deep into enemy territory to gather vital information. The mission teeters on the edge of danger. The Gestapo's chillingly effective spy network is ever-vigilant, ready to ensnare any traitors or deserters. The reliability of the chosen agents also casts a shadow over the plan. "Tiger," a man who values profit over principle, and "Happy," a war-fatigued soul vulnerable to emotional betrayal, are unpredictable pawns in this high-stakes game. With the successful infiltration of Tiger and another American agent, Happy is then airdropped into the heart of Bavaria. His mission: to trace a highly formidable German armored unit advancing towards the western front. "Decision Before Dawn" is a tense dance with danger, where trust is elusive, and survival hangs by a thread. Set against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape where suspense lurks in every shadow, this film is a riveting exploration of loyalty, courage, and the human desire to endure.
