Sleeve Sypnosis:
An all-star action movie that deals with the ultimate sexual humiliation...slavery in 1970's! As macabre as it may seem, this film is based on fact! A doctor, Michael Caine, sets out to liberate his wife from her captor's who have kidnapped her because, being beautiful , she will fetch a mammoth premium on the Middle East slave market.

Assisted by William Holden-as a rugged helicopter pilot and Rex Harrison - as a fanatical anti-slaver, the trail leads Caine across the spectacular, cruel terrain of the Sahara to the flesh markets of Arabia. The super-star cast also includes Omar Sharif as a wealthy prince, and Peter Ustinov as a slimy slave trader.
