In the early 1900s, an American businessman was kidnapped by a rebellious Arab chieftain, principally as a means to embarrass the sultan of Morocco. This abduction sparked the threat of armed intervention by President Theodore Roosevelt, which was never carried out. In The Wind and the Lion, the unattractive male captive is replaced by the gorgeous female Mrs. Pedecaris, an American widow played by Candice Bergen. The ruthless but essentially decent Arab chief Raisuli is portrayed by Sean Connery, while Teddy Roosevelt is depicted as a jingoistic blowhard by Brian Keith. The film’s main theme — that of America’s emergence as a world power — is largely secondary to the growing mutual-respect relationship between Mrs. Pedecaris and Raisuli. After releasing his hostage, Raisuli is himself captured by German forces, who at the behest of the Kaiser are seeking out methods of laying the groundwork for what would evolve into World War I. Mrs. Pedecaris must then help Raisuli escape., John Milius fictionalises the historical story of President Roosevelt’s attempts to deal with the kidnapping of an American citizen by a Moroccan Sheikh. Leaving cynicism way behind, Milius veers away from conspiracy theories and turns instead to adventure with plenty of action., Action drama about the kidnapping of an American widow and her children in Tangier in 1904, loosely based on fact. Recently elected president Roosevelt prepares to send in the Marines, but in the interim Germany seeks to exploit the situation by landing troops in North Africa. Against this backdrop of power politics, a relationship develops between the woman and her Arab abductor., An Arab bandit in 1904 Morocco kidnaps an American woman and touches off an international incident., Morocco, 1904: an American woman, Eden, and her children are kidnapped by Berber warriors, led by the charismatic Raisuli. The incident stirs President Teddy Roosevelt into intervention. But as the political and military storm rages, Eden begins to sympathise with Raisuli. A tale of action and derring-do in the desert.
