Screen giants Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine ignite the screen in this chase thriller set in South Africa's powder keg of racial strife. When anti-apartheid activist Shack Twala (Poitier) is freed from prison, he quickly runs into trouble with the police. British engineer Keogh (Caine) helps Twala elude a sadistic government official (Nicol Williamson), but as both men race 900 miles to cross the border to safety, they are drawn into a conspiracy much bigger and deadlier than they realize!
