This war film was directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and stars Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and Hardy Krüger. The film was named after the Wild Goose flag and shoulder patch used by Michael 'Mad Mike' Hoare's 5 Commando ANC, the idea of which had been sparked by the Flight of the Wild Geese - a 17th century Irish mercenary army. Hoare was a technical adviser on the film.
