This German-Italian co-production by RAPID Film rides on the wave of the GERMAN ADVENTURE FLICKS, but is incredibly exciting and quite differentiated.
Two mining engineers friends (Giorgio ARDISSON / Sieghardt RUPP) in Beirut get caught up in the machinations of a drug lord (Luigi PISTILLI), who wants to use them as drug couriers on the Beirut-Tetuan route. He doesn't shy away from kidnapping the son of one of the two men. A race against time begins...
Giorgio ARDISSON (1931-2014) and Sieghardt RUPP (1931-2015) impress in parade roles tailored to them. Also interesting is the participation of Hamburger Katrin SCHAAKE (*1931), who would later make a few appearances in FASSBINDER films.
Not only worth seeing for fans of the GERMAN ADVENTURE FLICKS!
