En 1941, Rommel tient sa victoire sur les troupes anglaises. Le seul obstacle entre lui et le canal de Suez est la forteresse de Tobrouk, tenue par un petit bataillon de soldats australiens. Le capitaine MacRoberts les dirige et ordonne des raids contre Rommel, ce qui leur vaudra leur surnom de « Rats du Désert ».
