Uraz (Omar Sharif) is the son of Tursen

Uraz (Omar Sharif) is the son of Tursen (Jack Palance), a stable master and retired buzkashi player, a sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to place a goat or calf carcass in a goal. He has lost his honor when he breaks his leg in a game that his father has bet all of the family's money on, which means he has to learn how to ride and play again, despite most of his leg. Based on Joseph Kessel's Les cavaliers, this was scripted by Dalton Trumbo and directed by John Frankenheimer, who loved the movie even if it wasn't a financial success. There's a lot of animal violence in this, so be warned. I mean, it's a game played with a dead animal, after all. The same game is played in Rambo III, in case you wondered. Like that movie, the Afghanistan of this film is long gone. It's a big Hollywood film about a sport and a place that I can imagine very few people were interested in, which makes me interested in it.

The Horsemen takes its rightful place, if gawkily

The Horsemen takes its rightful place, if gawkily so, among Frankenheimer's best films

Jack Palance and Omar Sharif at their best

Jack Palance and Omar Sharif at their best. The movie was brutal even without killing and guns.
