Great Film overall

Excellent but underrated film

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If you like to see camels grunting and crying in the desert and plenty of Arabs with swords clashing in the bright sun along with Omar Sharif, (Emir Beni-Zair), you will enjoy this film. The film deals with a very pretty and sexy gal with beautiful eyes named Christine Sanders, (Carol Alt) whose son has been taken away from her by her ex-husband who is the son of an Arab Chieftain back to Morocco. Christine is a very successful business woman in New York City and is also very wealthy and she hires a man named Tom Burton,(Rutger Hauer) to hunt down her son and bring him back home. However, Christine wants to go along with Tom and she eventually convinces him to let her go along and I think she bit off more than she can chew on this dangerous adventure in the desert. During some very action scenes, Christine and Tom do find time to passionately embrace each other and their kisses were very very long. Omar Sharif, Elliott Gould gave great supporting roles to this film which is very entertaining and different. Enjoy.

How you can make a movie about such totally unsympathetic and insufferable people is beyond me. Beyond that, the movie makes no sense and the plot has no credibility. Father kidnaps son from mother and then helps mother re-kidnap him from primitive Arab tribe who have managed to place elaborate warning boxes into the, one assumes, well guarded mansions of the two parents in America. Two hired mercenaries somehow manage to obtain crates-full of sophisticated weapons and a caravan of other Arabs to transport them. Mother in business suit insists on joining commandos when her presence at any point could betray and undermine the entire mission. OK, that's enough, I got my ten lines in but will mention that I am a big fan of Rutgar Hauer.

Man ! I give 1/10 for this movie. And I would prefer give 0. Can't believe kind of so bad "movie" exist. It's not "B series" but "Z series".Produce in 1992 ! Have no sense. Even the music of Ennio Morricone(Once Upon a Time in the West)is ridiculous for this "movie".It's evident after to watch this movie, that we can conclude actor/actress don't make movie just for fun but to win money to pay their "Kingdom", their Mercedes, their swimming pool, etc.Personally to be a good actor and make this kind of movie I would feel a lot depress. Oh my God !Even in my better bad nightmare I can't imagine a so bad movie. It's Fantastic that they are guys to find money to create this kind of "thing".Not only the movie is "null" but actor/actress are bad too. But can we be good in this kind of "movie".God give pardon to the producer of this "thing" cause he/they really don't know what they do !I must admit this "movie" is a very good soporific and if you have some trouble to sleep well I suggest you buy it. Be sure at 100% you will sleep before the end.

I never heard of this Italian made film...I caught on Long Islands ch.55 late night movie.. I was amazed.. its a fascinating adventure, beautifully photographed and well acted.. Sustained my interest even at this 2am viewing! It is somewhat cliched, and stereotypic, but an exciting tale well told.. In view of our present world conflict, it gives some insight into the tribal nomadic existences of the various cults that still exist !!, and the mores and values which still persist. Worth seeing...
