Foreign Legion. His idealistic illusions
are soon shattered when he encounters his fellow recruits, including Dupont
(Hardy), who have all volunteered to escape a past far less innocent than his
own.
After
a sadistic training regime, the fully-fledged Legionnaires set out to do battle
and face deadly fire fights, ambushes and danger at every turn. But soon, a change of allegiance threatens to
tear loyalties apart and turn comrade against comrade. As Murray and Dupont now
