The Story
Two British soldiers set out to build an empire of their own when they venture into remote Kafiristan in search of fame and a fortune in treasure.
Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Saeed Jaffrey and Christopher Plummer star in this spectacular adventure film, directed by the great Oscar-winning John Huston (The Maltese Falcon).
Based on the 1888 novella by Rudyard Kipling, a favourite book of John Huston, Roger Ebert called the film a "swashbuckling adventure, pure and simple, and in the hands of a master".
