Action explodes across the screen when a gangster-quartet led by ace safe-cracker Azad, magnetically portrayed by French super-star JEAN-PAUL BELMONDO, steals a priceless collection of emeralds. The gang's elation quickly subsides when their escape ship is unexpectedly held in port and sadistic police Inspector Zacharia (OMAR SHARIF) gets on to their tracks. After one of the most thrilling chase sequences ever filmed, Zacharia offers freedom to Azad - in exchange for the gems! This leads to murder and a violent show-down. Wild action and exotic locales guarantee this to be a super-thriller.
