Full Plot Details

Foreign Legion Major William Foster (Gene Hackman), an American haunted by his memories of the recently-ended Great War, is assigned to protect a group of archaeologists at their dig. Foster's unit includes the charming, thieving rascal Marco Segrain (Terence Hill), who joined the Legion only to avoid prison. After long stretches portraying the boredom and hardship of day-to-day life in the Legion, Foster's command occupies a small village where the archaeologists believe they've found a burial site sacred to the Arabs. Arab leader El Krim (Sir Ian Holm) uses this affront to unite the tribes in Jihad, and attacks the tiny Legion garrison at the dig. An epic battle follows, very reminiscent of Zulu (1964). Costumes, firearms, and props are all very authentic-looking, and show great attention to detail.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Mathew GHmm, I´ve never seen this before, but it was great. Good performances from Gene Hackman and Max von Sydow, neither actor never dips in quality. Earlyish part for Ian Holm too. I hope you can get this movie on DVD.
User Review - 8/10 by chris ggood to see these muslim vermin,getting a taste of real firepower..even as far back as 1919..
User Review - 8/10 by Pamela DNot terribly original, but tough Sam Fuller style of action and a great cast make this probably the best French Foreign Legion film out there. This film was actually shown as part of the Quentin Tarantino Film Festival Part 2.
User Review - 6/10 by Brad WWhen was the last time we saw a Foriegn Legion movie? Well, now you have a good one to throw on whenever the mood strikes you.
User Review - 4/10 by Andres PTyylilleen uskottava elokuva. Kaksi tähteä hyvistä näyttelijöistä.
User Review - 4/10 by Sanity Assassin !Sounds good, but is really something of a disappointment. Great cast, even. But it doesn't really help. It's impossible to cook up any sympathy for the characters, the film drags along and there's no real tension. Oh well, I make it sound perhaps a little worse than it is - at least it beats your regular Bruckheimer or Scott blockbuster
User Review - 4/10 by Andy AA bit overly sentimental at times for such a brawny body as the French Foreign Legion, this lesser known piece of Gene Hackman's career is probably not so well known for good reason. The cliched plight of these haggard mercs really doesn't have much going for it, and some poor editing certainly doesn't help to further its cause. I'll admit that this heavily romanticized excursion probably has much more potential than I'm giving it credit for, but its hard to give dues since it aspires to what "Khartoum" set out to do on a far less effective level and on a much smaller scale. At times there is a sort of baroque melancholy captured in the smoky indoor scenes that is hard to not like, but for the most part the preening butt-chinned protagonist (Terence Hill), not to mention a highly distracting (and highly unfocused) romance with "Belle de Jour" temptress Catherine Deneuve, really prevents the viewer from enjoying any kind of fully realized desert fantasy in any way shape or form. And, as a final parting shot, it would be important to remember that while the fantastic Ian Holm may have excelled as a Hobbit, an android and a even a futuristic priest, he was never EVER meant to play an Arab.

User Review - 4/10 by david sYou can tell a Lew Grade production a mile off ? distinctly British in style; epic in conception; peopled by international all-star casts; usually set in exotic climes. It's a formula that Grade and his company ITC employed throughout the 70s into the early 80s, resulting in titles like The Eagle Has Landed, Firepower, and Raise The Titanic! In 1977 Grade produced March Or Die, a remarkably old-fashioned Foreign Legion adventure that models all the characteristics mentioned above. Directed by the usually dependable Dick Richards ? who helmed the acclaimed Farewell My Lovely just a couple years earlier - March Or Die is an unfortunate disappointment. A company of Foreign Legionnaires led by the harsh disciplinarian General Foster (Gene Hackman) is sent to Morocco shortly after World War 1. Their mission is to protect an archaeological party fronted by the dedicated Francois Marneau (Max Von Sydow). The archaeologists are carrying out an excavation at the ancient city of Erfoud, but fear an attack from Arab tribesmen following the decimation of an earlier archaeological group. Foster is not happy with the assignment ? he does not consider historical artifacts worthy of his men risking their lives. This creates ongoing tension between himself and Marneau, who believes that the legionnaires should sacrifice their lives to make the excavation possible. The problems heighten when a beautiful woman named Simone Picard (Catherine Deneuve) tags along with the legionnaires. She is hoping to find out what happened to her father, a historian abducted by the Arabs when they wiped out the first archaeological team. Her presence arouses desires amongst the legionnaires, none more so than gypsy thief Marco Segrain (Terence Hill), a charming and courageous rogue who initially shows indifference towards his legionnaire colleagues but gradually grows in stature. Things climax with a huge battle at Erfoud, with swarms of united Arab tribes charging against the handful of legionnaires as they desperately try to defend their lives. On paper the star duo of Gene Hackman and Terence Hill seem a mismatch ? Hackman is the heavyweight Oscar-winning character actor, Hill the handsome but limited Italian heart-throb from numerous low budget spaghetti westerns. One expects Hackman to act his counterpart off the screen. Yet, bizarrely, it is Hackman who gives the weak and uninvolving performance, while Hill raises his game to surprisingly high levels. The film is attractively shot on desert locations, but the pacing is awfully slow and few of the characters are worth caring for. Maurice Jarre's music is uncommonly flat too ? very disappointing from the guy who gave us the Lawrence Of Arabia score. It is remarkable that anyone had the nerve to try an old-fashioned adventure of this type in the 70s (it was a genre that peaked in the 30s, and had been all but forgotten during the intervening decades). Sadly, the gamble doesn't really pay off ? this homage to the legionnaire flicks of old becomes more of a plod than a march.
User Review - 2/10 by Serge LSmall film with pretentions way above its head. It is rather bashy of french and of arabs. Probably another english propagandist film. The story is rather ridiculous and may be alluring for westerns viewers with a change of decor. I don't think there is much truth in the film, to add insult to injury.
