Set in World War Two and based on a true tale, this entertaining adventure follows the expoits of a band of Italian prisoners of war in East Africa, guarded by obsessive British camp commander, Ben Cross. One of the prisoners (Vincent Spano) plans to escape with a small group, reach the summit of nearby Mount Kenya and plant an Italian flag. This story is as riveting as it is unusual, the acting's compelling and there's great photography of the amazing scenery, too.
