1980. English.
Based on Frederick Forsyth's novel of the same name the film is about a group of mercenaries who depose a dictator in an African country for an English tycoon who wants to control the platinum deposits of that country. Chris Walken is Jamie Shannon who is the head of the mercenaries and who finally does the right thing by the country and by humanity.
Remember reading the novel when I was a youngster. Good to see the movie. Quite gripping despite some predictable angles.
