In the North West Frontier of India in the days of the British Rai Police Officer Freddy Young is assigned to capture the troublesome rebel leader Sultan. To the individualistic Young, Sultan is a man of ideals and an enemy to be respected, but ideals and duty are not easily reconciled. Trevor Howard and Yul Brynner are the two men of honour set on opposite sides in this adventure saga.
Above average north-west frontier drama which is helped by the acting - Yul Brynner is superb as Sultan and give his role meat as a man of Honor. Trevor Howard matches him in the acting stakes. Charlotte Rampling stars as his daughter and plays a sympathetic role. It can be overlong and talky, but it's well-paced and some fine action scenes and great scenery.
