White officer takes charge of the unit formed entirely of Black Americans - their morale is low, they are poorly trained, but now he has to lead them on a suicidal mission behind enemy lines.
White officer Captain Carter it put in charge of all-black brigade that so far was used only for the auxiliary duties and never entered the fight even though World War 2 is in full swing. While Carter visits his new post he realizes that the unit is shambles - the guards do not guard, the cooks do not cook, the only things that keep the soldiers going are gambling and alcohol. He can’t believe the state the brigade is in, but soon learns the reasons behind that situation. So far the soldiers were used for all the duties white soldiers would not like to take - digging latrines, preparing food and logistics. The morale of the soldiers sunk quickly since everyone in US Army treated them with contempt. Despite the rough start Carter has to convince them that they are important to the army. In fact they are important enough to be sent on suicidal mission behind enemy lines. Their goals is to save a dam that, if destroyed, would flood the area and stop the Allies offensive. Now Carter has to reach his soldiers and convince them they can do it.
Made as a tribute to all the black American soldiers during World War 2 Black Brigade was unfortunately a very, very cheap production and was based on a poorly written script - a lot of the scenes are filled with cliches and motivational speeches that are killing the flow of the film. Interesting cast (including few later well known actors, like Richard Pryor or Billy Dee Williams) and, back in 1970, pioneer project presenting black soldiers in Europe, but the film was spoiled by budget problems and low quality script.
