''Hell Is for Heroes'' is a 1962 UsefulNotes/WorldWarII film directed by Don Siegel and co-written by Robert Pirosh. It was Siegel's only war film, and unfortunately his only collaboration with [[Creator/SteveMcQueenActor Steve McQueen]], an actor whose rebellious persona jibed well with the director's vision; it puts the star in the familiar role of antihero. Also in the cast are Music/BobbyDarin, Creator/FessParker, Harry Guardino, Nick Adams, Creator/JamesCoburn, and Creator/BobNewhart. Pirosh, who also wrote ''Film/Battleground1949'', would go on to write much of the series ''[[Series/Combat1962 Combat!]]'', which is stylistically similar to this film.
