Odious middle-eastern slave trader Peter_Ustinov sets the plot in motion by kidnapping Beverly_Johnson, the wife of World Health Organization doctor Michael_Caine. As Johnson is subjected to the basest of humiliations, Caine joins forces with soldier-of-fortune Rex_Harrison, pilot William_Holden and nomad Kabir_Bedi to rescue his wife. Shiek Omar_Sharif purchases Johnson, clearing the decks for an all-stops-out action finale. Aldo Tonti lensed the picture. Hal Erickson, Rovi
