Last month Royal Laotian T-28s trapped a company of mixed Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese troops in the open near Thakhek, killing dozens of the "Laoviet" with their 500-lb. bombs, while ground forces pinned another 40 in a nearby cave.

Competition within the group begins in earnest after they find refuge in a hillside cave. While a herd of baboons observes the vagaries of humankind, the six rapidly dwindle. The hardy pilot (Nigel Davenport) sets off to seek help. An old German (Harry Andrews) and a professorial type (Theodore Bikel) are eliminated one way or another by the fittest male, Stuart Whitman, who is left...
