Written by - Reginald Rose (based on a novel by Daniel Carney)

Starring - Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris, Hardy Kruger

 

"A British industrialist hires a group of mercenaries calling themselves The Wild Geese to penetrate an African military despot and rescue a political leader awaiting execution. In the same style of Where Eagles Dare, this is a testosterone filled account of a warlike mission that is more videogame like fun than anything else. The ending will not disappoint."
