In, 1942 a commando (Jason Connery) is assigned to protect Winston Churchill when it is learned that the Nazis are plotting to kidnap him.
UK Prime Minister "Winston Churchill is traveling across Africa during the second World War. Nazi terrorists sabotage the train and take Churchill hostage. Counter-espionage agents Jason Connery (son of Sean Connery) and Francesco Quinn (son of Anthony Quinn) attempt to save him, and perhaps prevent the collapse of the allied war effort," according to the DVD sleeve description, "'Casablanca Express' is a taunt thriller with explosive action sequences."
Interesting to see the sons of two very accomplished actors in such an unimpressive movie. The younger Connery and the younger Quinn are, arguably, more handsome in appearance, but less attractive on screen. At least in this movie; "Casablanca Express" is only one film, and not a very good one. It really seems to be set in the 1980s, poorly pretending to be World War II of the 1940s. Allied actors Glenn Ford, Donald Pleasence, and Jean Sorel amount to naught.
