Original Title:

Any Man’s Death

Reporter Leon Abrahams (Savage) is sent to Namibia to discover the whereabouts of a fellow journalist. While nosing around the jungle after his task is completed he stumbles upon an unregenerate Nazi war criminal (Hickey) and ex-SS protector (Borgnine) . As he mulls over what do with this information, the Nazi continues laying the groundwork for a worldwide neofascist conspiracy.

Add to all this the fact that Savage is traumatised from his experiences in Vietnam and the result is an indigestible mess of hamming anguish. Despite the presence of such thespic heavyweights as Hickey and Borgnine, Any Man's Death comes nowhere near to living up to its potential.

A risible attempt at combining a big ethical dilemma within the standard action movie format.
