In post-WWII Africa, ex-U.S. Army pilot Brynie MacKay (Rod Taylor) was stuck doing contraband flights for smuggler Lee Harris (Harry Guardino) so he could be staked to a return home. When he bucks for a pay increase-and shows his interest in Harris' gorgeous mistress (Claudia Cardinale)-the enraged backer is determined to ground him for good. Long-sought adventure-drama also stars Kevin McCarthy, Pete Duel, William Marshall, Don Knight. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
