The film deals with a story in the Desert War in North Africa. Douglas is the leader of a group of mercenaries who has a difficult experience over time, as it is their mission to defeat enemy fuel reserves., While facing a problem with two men with differing opinions.
A fine, memorable performance by Nigel Davenport, as a man who's as calculating as he is black-hearted. He works for the Brits, but one senses that if the Germans offered him more money, switching sides would pose no dilemma.
