The Devil's Eight is a 1969 action-thriller film directed by Burt Topper and starring Christopher George, Fabian, and Tom Nardini. The movie follows a group of convicts who are offered a chance for freedom if they agree to undertake a dangerous mission. The eight criminals, all from different backgrounds and with unique skillsets, are assembled by a mysterious millionaire named Strucker, who has organized the mission. The task at hand is to transport a deadly virus to a facility in California, where a team of scientists will use it to create an antidote.
