Description

Ronald Lewis (The Full Treatment), Oliver Reed (The Triple Echo), Duncan Lamont (The Scarlet Blade), and Yvonne Romain (Captain Clegg) star in Hammer’s The Brigand of Kandahar, a tale of derring-do set on the north-west frontier of the British Raj.

Lieutenant Case (Lewis) is a mixed-race officer imprisoned for cowardice following a racially charged court-martial. Bitter and humiliated, Case escapes and joins forces with bandit leader Khan (Reed) in order to enact vengeance upon racist British commanding officer Colonel Drewe (Lamond), but risks Khan s deadly wrath when he falls for Khan’s sister (Romain).

Directed by John Gilling (The Scarlet Blade), The Brigand of Kandahar is a rip-roaring classic of action and adventure.
