If Germany is defeated, all the artworks that fell into the hands of the German Nazis will be destroyed. Therefore, under the instructions of President Roosevelt, a special force was formed. Their main task was to recapture the valuable cultural heritage from the German Nazis and return them to their original owners. The members of this special elite unit are composed of Frank, Jamesand Claire. Some of them are museum curators and some are artists. All of them possess wonderful skills and are proficient in all kinds of artistic treasures, but are unfamiliar with guns and weapons. In order to prevent the destruction of human civilization, they must fight every second, risking their lives and rushing to the front lines of war to defend the great civilization relics in human history.

The Monuments Men quotes
-
Frank Stokes: You can wipe out an entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll still find their way back. But if you destroy their history, you destroy their achievements and it's as if they never existed. That's what Hitler wants and that's exactly what we are fighting for.

James Granger: It was a slow day.
Frank Stokes: Well, I wouldn't move.
James Granger: I'd like to at some point.
