Two-time Oscar winner Richard Attenborough (1982 Best Director and Best Picture, Ghandi) stars as a dedicated British soldier caught in the midst of a revolution in Africa in this compelling war drama.
Co-starring Mia Farrow (in her film debut), Guns at Batasi is an "intriguing, thought-provoking" (Hollywood Citizen-News) and "rousing tale!" (The New Yorker).
When the head of the British military in Africa is instructed to turn over command to the native militia, he defies orders and arms himself and his followers with a cache of weapons. When Regimental Sergeant Major Lauderdale (Attenborough) learns of this defiance, he springs into action with all the authority at his command, knowing full well that he´s the only thing that stands between order...and massacre!..
