In Fort Lamy, French Equatorial Africa, idealist Morel launches a one-man campaign to preserve the African elephant from extinction, which he sees as the last remaining "roots of Heaven." At first, he finds only support from Minna, hostess of the town's only night club, who is in love with him, and a derelict ex-British Army Major, Forsythe. His crusade gains momentum and he is soon surrounded by an odd assortment of characters: Cy Sedgewick, an American TV commentator who becomes impressed and rallies world-wide support; a U.S. photographer, Abe Fields, who is sent to do a picture story on Morel and stays on to follow his ideals; Saint Denis, a government aide ordered to stop Morel; Orsini, a professional ivory hunter whose vested interests aren't the same as Morel's; and Waitari, leader of a Pan-African movement who follows Morel only for the personal good it will do his own campaign.

| User ReviewKevin RA Gigantic Message against Elephant Hunting and Colonianism with a great Errol Flynn in his Last Part and beautiful Pictures of the African Nature and the Elephants and other Animals. The Directions, Camera Work, Music and all other Actors are great too. |
| User ReviewAnne-Laure RJ'avais beaucoup aime le livre et le film n'est pas en reste. |
| User ReviewTimothy JWell before its time. A groups sets out to defend the African Elephant. Not a bad movie. And one of Errol Flynn's last films. |
| User ReviewCitizen PProbably the first eco-thriller with the Huston-typical attitude. Welles and Flynn are astonishing in their roles. |
| User ReviewSylvain JPas completement catastrophique, mais il vaut mieux lire le roman, immense chef d'oeuvre. (vu en VF... ce qui n'aide pas) |
