A Fantastic Review

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2005)

In this classic adventure the Wind and the Lion (Taken place in 1905) are after a woman, and if these two can't settle their differences, they whole world may be at stake by a World War! In morocco Raisuli the Magnificent (Sean Connery) kidnap an American woman and her children. She is hastily taken to the desert and comes face to face with the leader of the bandits that captured her. But this man is different, he is a scholar, and calls himself a servant of God! And all of the hundreds that follow agree. But this woman doesn't follow him, although she is in a life or death situation. Causing feuds between each other several times.
When word of this reaches Pres. Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt (Brian Keith) he asks only one question to Raisuli, "What kind of rifle do you have?" With this statement he tells the rest of the USA that he means business. No resident of the USA will ever be held against her will as long as he is president! The German, and French tempers are rising in Morocco. Friend ships are formed, blood is spilled, will she ever be back home?
