Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Three years before dashing Egyptian actor Omar Sharif shot to international stardom as a result of his role in Lawrence of Arabia, he essayed the lead in this atmospheric adventure that has seldom been seen stateside since its original 1959 release. When a youthful villager (Sharif) agrees to accompany his best friend (Rushi Abazah) on a voyage down the Nile River, the appearance of a beautiful stowaway (Hind Rostom) suddenly transforms the lifelong friends into bitter rivals.
