- Synopsis:
'Game for Vultures' is a tough, action-packed drama set against the backdrop of an American terrorist war. It combines the story of two men - David Swansey (a white African patriot) and Gideon Marunga (a fierce, black freedom fighter). In London, Swansey is offered the chance of illegally purchasing a consignment of war surplus army helicopters from a base in West Germany. Although concerned that arms deals are way out of his league, Swansey, with the backing of his government, proceeds with the deal. In Africa, the battle-weary but undaunted Gideon is summoned to London when his political leaders discover details of the sale. His mission is to run Swansey to ground and prevent, at all costs, the helicopters reaching their homeland. There begins a furious and uncompromising battle of wits between the two men, and a game of cat and mouse that stretches across Europe and the air lanes of Africa ... - Actors:

A bit like The Wild Geese - Game for Vultures review by BW
Look, this is no cinematic masterpiece, but if you have an interest in the genre, or the history of Rhodesia/post-/colonialism, this is an extremely good film, and very balanced. (Also some wonderful '70s touches!)
