Synopsis
The Wild Geese (1978) is a British action film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, available to watch online on iFILM. Aging mercenary Allen Faulkner pulls his old crew back together for one job in Africa.
The brief from a London financier sounds clean enough: break a deposed African leader out of prison before he's executed. Fifty hardened veterans drop into the bush and run the rescue flawlessly — then learn their employer has already cut a deal with the dictator behind their backs. No plane is coming for them. Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Roger Moore lead a unit that now has to fight its way to the border, bleeding men with every mile.
This is solid, no-nonsense seventies adventure: real faces, no irony, and a bitter ending about soldiers of fortune who get sold out. The pull isn't the gunfire so much as that cast of stars playing tired professionals. Stream The Wild Geese (1978) online on iFILM.
