Plots(1)

This realistically shot adventure, loosely inspired by Verne's The Begum's Fortune, tells the story of a megalomaniac arms-factory owner planning to destroy his peaceable neighbours. The filmmakers varied the original plot with new motifs and made its anti-war message more up-to-date. (Summer Film School)
