The Dogs of War

(1980)Directed by John Irvin118 min · RThriller, Action, Adventure
“Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip...”

In 1980, a large corporation hires mercenaries to take Zangaro, a small fictional African nation, from its president, and a British tycoon wants the platinum buried beneath it. John Irvin follows the small unit as it gathers for the job, with Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) leading and Drew (Tom Berenger) at his side. The two men trust each other more than they trust anyone paying them, and most of what passes between them goes unsaid.
