Plot

A special UN narcotics team traces the flow of heroin from the Golden Triangle to the West, across many countries.

Sinekatalog’s take

Terence Young's all-star drama, with Yul Brynner, Marcello Mastroianni, Omar Sharif and Trevor Howard, is a curious, rough and star-packed anti-drug film produced by the UN.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
