Canada Post Strike
A chartered plane crashes in a remote African desert after colliding with a swarm of locusts. It’s not only the harsh surroundings and the vicious baboons that the survivors have to worry about…but also a crazed fellow passenger. The stellar cast includes Stuart Whitman (The Day and the Hour) as a businessman and big-game hunter, Stanley Baker (Robbery) as a chain-smoking and alcoholic mining engineer, Susannah York (The Silent Partner) as a beautiful young divorcee, Nigel Davenport (Play Dirty) as the plane’s captain, Theodore Bikel (The Defiant Ones) as a doctor, and Harry Andrews (A Dandy in Aspic) as an elderly German gentleman. This was the sixth and final teaming of Baker and his Hell Driver and Zulu director Cy Endfield.
