Dark of the Sun (1968)

In the jagged heart of war-ravaged Congo, Captain Curry, a formidable British commando, is enlisted for an audacious mission by President Ubi. Caught amidst the ruthless separatist Simba army and UN peacekeepers, a remote town cradles a vault of $50 million in uncut diamonds - a treasure Curry is tasked to steal before the town's inevitable downfall. Curry's motley crew of mercenaries includes his reliable ally Ruffo, the alcohol-addled Doctor Wreid, and the menacing Henlein, a post-WWII mercenary with a sadistic Nazi past. Battling treacherous terrains and rival forces, their journey is laden with danger and uncertainty, their unity tested by the ticking time lock of the vault and growing internal discord. Upon reaching the town, they are confronted by a grim spectacle - a group of terror-stricken Westerners, driven from their homes and subjected to unspeakable atrocities by the Simba rebels. Among them is the beautiful widow Claire, whose husband fell victim to the rebels' brutality. The mercenaries agree to escort them to safety, even as their mission hangs precariously in the balance. But as they inch closer to their goal, a sudden turn of events sends shockwaves through their ranks. Henlein's treachery surfaces, sparking an eruption of sadistic violence that tears through the town as the rebels wreak havoc. Yet, amidst the chaos and bloodshed, Curry remains unwavering in his resolve. The mission must be completed - at any cost.
