A group of mercenaries are assaulting a base and in the process their captain is killed. Now lost, they begin to wander through the Cyprus desert looking for any way out. Arguing amongst the soldiers ensues as they are slowly separated and killed. Laura Gemser appears halfway through the film (or considerably sooner depending on which version is viewed) as a woman whose intentions are not all that they seem. This almost works as a psychological thriller, but the pacing is excruciatingly slow.
