THE WILD GEESE

1978

From DVD blurb:

​

The Dogs of War . . .

The Best **** Mercenaries

In The Business

​

Their home is the battlefield. Their calling is war. Their only loyalty is to each other. They are the Wild Geese, fifty crack paratroopers commanded by fearless veteran Colonel Faulkner (Richard Burton). 

​

Their mission: to land in a remote and hostile corner of Africa, free the one man who can change a nation's destiny, seize the airport and make their escape . . . 

​

But while the Wild Geese are fighting and dying in the African sun,  sinister forces in the corridors of power are working to seal their fate.
