A crack 4-man team of USA operatives protect a deposed Arab leader from assassination attempts by the dictator who deposed him. Lots of people get killed in the process. So pretty much a routine action film where the most exciting element is the film score by Joel Goldsmith. The best thing potentially going for it is the cast. George Kennedy! Kabir Bedi! Louis Jourdan! Hugo Stiglitz! Robert Forster! Jorge Rivero! Isaac Hayes! Simón Andreu! Unfortunately the dreary dialogue was written by what seemed like a twelve year old so the actors have no chance to shine. The plot is predictable reminding one of other and better films. Once seen, once forgotten. A sequel was hinted at but never came fortunately.
