- Synopsis:
- Major Lauderlale, a British officer (Richard Attenborough), is sent to a colony in Africa to keep the peace during a changeover in the local government. Adding to his troubles are a contentious female officer (Flora Robson) and a young woman on a vacation (Mia Farrow). When a local officer starts creating trouble for the British government, Lauderdale is forced to defend the British Empire against one of his own countrymen. The complex governmental tangles surrounding this turmoil force the officer to come to terms with his unwavering faith in a system that may be a lot more brutal than it first appears.
