WIND AND THE LION, THE (1975)

Sean Connery and Candice Bergen star in this epic adventure, based on the real-life story of the 1904 kidnapping of Ion Hanford Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley.

Morocco, 1904. A corrupt sultan has granted German troops control over the land, and Raisuli, the last of the Barbary pirates, leads the fight against the occupation. In a plot to force the American President to remove the sultan from his throne, Raisuli kidnaps an American widow and her two children.

Written and directed by John Milius (Conan The Barbarian), and featuring an Oscar-nominated score by Jerry Goldsmith, this gripping film also stars Brian Keith as President Theodore Roosevelt, and John Huston as Secretary of State John Hay. 

“an exciting traditional adventure, spiced with romance and Seventies-style trimmings” – Derek Winnert
