Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's poem set in the days of India under the British Empire, this exciting epic adventure was one of George Stevens's greatest films and has not been seen on television for over 20 years.
Cutter, MacChesney and Ballantine are three brave and reckless officers sent to investigate an attack on an army post by the cult of the Thuggees. Among their native auxiliaries is a water-carrier called Gunga Din, who proves he is as resourceful and courageous as any trained soldier.
