- Synopsis:
'The Deceivers', an exotic, gripping adventure yarn, said to be based on a true story, which charts one man's daring exploits to expose a murderous secret society. India, 1825. The country is being ravaged by the Thugees, cult members also known as 'The Deceivers', who commit robbery and ritualistic murder. Appalled by their activities, an English officer, Captain William Savage (Pierce Brosnan), undertakes a hazardous task: in disguise, he will himself become a 'Deceiver' and infiltrate their ranks.
