Northwest Frontier - 1959 - Video

The Story ...

The film is set in colonial India in the early 1900s, during a time of political turmoil and rebellion against British rule., it revolves around a group of people who are trying to transport a young Indian prince, Surat Khan, to safety across the North West Frontier province, which is beset by violent uprisings.

In British-controlled India just after the turn of the 20th century, an English captain (Kenneth More) is asked to escort a maharajah's son out of town after an uprising by Muslim factions threatens the boy's life.

The group is led by Captain Scott, played by Kenneth More, a British officer who is initially sceptical about the mission but gradually becomes more invested in it as they face various obstacles along the way.

As the captain sneaks the boy away with his governess (Lauren Bacall), danger seems to be all around. After another attack by rebels, the trio and a group of others -- including a journalist and an arms dealer -- secretly board an old train to try to escape to safety.

The journey is fraught with danger as they are pursued by rebels who want to kill the prince and overthrow British rule. Along the way, the group must contend with treacherous terrain, hostile tribesmen, and internal conflicts that threaten to derail the mission.

"North West Frontier" is notable for its spectacular action sequences and stunning cinematography, which capture the rugged beauty of the Indian landscape. The film also explores themes of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice in the face of adversity, as the characters grapple with the moral complexities of their situation.

Overall, "North West Frontier" is a thrilling adventure film that offers a compelling look at the tensions and conflicts that characterised British colonial rule in India.

"A visual feast for film buffs everywhere! ..."
