The Foreign Legion - they were the greatest fighting force of all time and they obeyed but one command - [March Or Die]
The Foreign Legion! Only the desperate joined. Only the lucky ones survived.
The magnificent story of every courageous man who has ever gone out to face death and every brave woman who has ever waited for him to return.
Foreign Legion Major Foster (Hackman), an American haunted by his memories of the recently-ended Great War, is assigned to protect a group of archaeologists at their dig. Foster's unit includes the charming, thieving rascal Marco (Hill), who joined the Legion only to avoid prison. After long stretches portraying the boredom and hardship of day-to-day life in the Legion, Foster's command occupies a small village where the archaeologists believe they've found a burial site sacred to the Arabs. An Arab leader (Holm) uses this affront to unite the tribes in Jihad, and attacks the tiny Legion garrison at the dig. An epic battle follows, very reminiscent of the film "Zulu". Costumes, firearms, and props are all very authentic-looking, and show great attention to detail.
Release Date: August 6, 1977
Distrib: Columbia Pictures
Boxoffice: $2,150,000
Italian star Terrence Hill had two chances for American stardpom in 1977- MR. BILLION and MARCH OR DIE. Both flopped miserably.
