Plot Summary
The year: 1964. The place: the blood–soaked Congo during the struggle for its independence from Belgium. The job: take a train 300 miles through dangerous Simba rebel territory to rescue 62 refugees and retrieve $50 million in uncut diamonds. Time allowed: 3 days. Chances for survival: slim.
The soldier of fortune Bruce Curry (Rod Taylor), the assignment means a chance for a handsome $50,000 payday. To his partner, Ruffo (Jim Brown), it means returning to his homeland to help his people. But no matter what the motive, the result is one heck of a tough, raw action–adventure spectacle. With nary a moment free from ambushes, air attacks and torture scenes – there's even a chain saw duel.
Brimming with cataclysmic intensity and well–orchestrated mayhem, Dark of the Sun, like kindred film The Dirty Dozen, achieves its particular potency by revealing depths of character and touches of humanity – even nobility – which enhance the spectacularly photographed roughneck action.
