...melodrama, but the film still turns the guesswork into good grim fun. 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.
