Plot
Prisoners in a British military prison in the Libyan desert.
Sinekatalog’s take
Sidney Lumet's military prison drama is brutal, claustrophobic and superbly acted. Sean Connery gives one of his finest performances in a tough, bleak study of authority and abuse.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
