Storyline

Rebuffed in love and uncertain of life, Simon is the story of a young Englishman's physical and spiritual journey during Algeria's battle for independence from France. Driven by romantic illusion to join the French Foreign Legion, Simon learns what it truly means to be a hero. A timeless, coming of age story set against the epic, sweeping landscape of North Africa.—Anonymous



Short Review

Good cast utterly wasted on a film which clearly ran out of funding and inspiration. The director manages to drum up some thrills with action scenes but doesn't seem to know what to do the rest of the time. Screen play mostly drab and predictable. All in all not worth the effort.
