Output (English): A group of veteran British sergeants, headed by an ultracorrect Regimental Sergeant Major Richard Attenborough, is caught between two dissident factions in an unnamed newly created African state most likely Kenya, since the character of RSM Lauderdale mentions that the Turkana people live in the north, which is where they live in Kenya. The African soldiers also speak amongst themselves in Kiswahili, the lingua franca of the region. The story neatly exposes the feelings of the professional NCOs, their officers and the African soldiers and officers, who are still painfully new to both guns and political slogans. When the postcolonial government of the unnamed African country is overthrown by a populist uprising, troops loyal to the new administration take over the barracks, arrest the commanding officer and seize weapons. With the British NCOs cut off in the Sergeants mess during the mutiny, the action boils down to the initiative and confusion of the griping, dutyhardened British soldiers in defending Captain Abraham Earl Cameron a wounded African officer, and themselves, against the mutineers. The mess situation is further complicated by having to temporarily accommodate Miss BarkerWise, a female British MP Flora Robson and Karen Eriksson, a UN secretary Mia Farrow, the latter providing some love interest. Eventually the minor action comes to an anticlimactic end when the countrys new administration allows the senior British officers to return to the barracks at Batasi and end the siege, but not before the RSM and a private involve themselves in some action  the destruction of two Bofors guns Lieutenant Boniface had brought out to threaten the Sergeants mess. The film concludes with the news that a new government is in power. The film illustrates an erupting new world where the socalled common man, both black and white, no longer has a clear idea of the realpolitik due to the social revolutions in a postcolonial world.
