Additional InformationThis action-packed war film follows the adventures of a group of paratroopers in the French army. Leading the soldiers is Pierre Raspeguy (Anthony Quinn), a tough peasant who has risen through the ranks to become a lieutenant colonel. The troop first heads off to Indochina, where French forces suffer a big defeat at Dien Bien Phu. Soon, the men are sent off to Algeria, whose citizens are waging a fierce guerrilla war against French rule. Not all of the servicemen, however, support their country's decisions -- including Algerian-born Mahidi (George Segal), who deserts his comrades after his parents are murdered during the fighting.

  • Misses the most important part of the original book.

    This is really a cowboy movie set in Algeria. Alain Delon is excellent as Esclavier, and Anthony Quinn is a reasonable facsimile of Raspeguy. Sadly, the most interesting bit from the original book (The Centrurions) is not really covered, ie. the political education that they survivors endure from being prisioners of the Viet Minh.

  • Good action adventure movie

    Good old fashioned well made and entertaining adventure. Always remember the failed parachute drop at the beginning of the film. Easy to follow, recommended film. Well acted.
