Synopsis

Starring Robert Ryan, Anita Ekberg and Rod Steiger, this adventure drama deals with a sudden and unexpected doomsday in the lives of eleven plane-crash survivors marooned in the Jivaro headhunter region of South America's jungle wilderness.

The film deals realistically with the changing emotions of the eleven survivors caught in the exotic but deadly labyrinth of trackless equatorial forest, concentrating on each of the eleven's reactions as hopes of rescue fade and jivaro headhunter tomtoms are heard above the noises of the living jungle.
