action

The legendary Talking Mountain is located in the Hoggar Mountains of the Sahara . This hides a millennia-old secret, which is guarded by the desert ruler Anthea and her red riders. Nobody is allowed to fathom the secret, whoever tries anyway is death. The American geologist Desmond Jordan was not deterred and went in search of the "talking mountain". On his search he meets the war criminal Lieutenant Ryker, whom he himself hunted down years ago. Ryker captures Jordan and wants revenge on him. The Caliph of Timbuktu is also interested in the mountain's secret. He smells a fabulous treasure and sends his army to find it. But Anthea and her people know how to defend themselves with mystical powers.

criticism

“Adventure film, made as a multinational television production that was cut together for a theatrical version. He makes use of common clichés and is strongly oriented towards the norms of Hollywood films, without gaining his own profile. "
