Screen legends Richard Burton (WHERE EAGLES DARE), Roger Moore (LIVE AND LET DIE) and Richard Harris (A MAN CALLED HORSE) star as a team of aging mercenaries hired by a wealthy industrialist for one final mission: Recruit and train a squad of desperate commandos, parachute into an unstable African nation, snatch its deposed President from a maximum-security prison, escape via the military-controlled airport, and massacre anyone who gets in their way. Reaching the target will be murder, but getting out alive may be impossible. Hardy Kruger (A BRIDGE TOO FAR) and Stewart Granger (KING SOLOMON’S MINES) co-star in this explosive action classic produced by Euan Lloyd (THE FINAL OPTION) and directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (THE DEVIL’S BRIGADE) from a screenplay by 2x Oscar® nominee Reginald Rose (12 ANGRY MEN), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 9+ hours of new and archival Special Features.
