"An American widow is kidnapped by a rebellious Arab chieftain, Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli to embarrass the Sultan of Morocco. As she falls for her captor, the abduction sparks the threat of armed intervention by the U.S This historical adventure is loosely based on real events. The movie is partly about an American war against Middle Eastern extremists who kidnap people and demand a ransom. It has parallels to what's happening right now in the real world. The characters are well written and likable"

"20.3. 2020 "The Wind and the Lion" is one of those films that sounds more exciting than it actually is. In the plot the Berber chieftain Raisuli kidnaps an American woman which causes an international conflict. "The Wind and the Lion" is a simple movie that relies on exotic landscapes, decent action scenes, and some comical scenes between the two main characters. Sean Connery is a weird choice for the main role because his thick Scottish accent is fairly obvious. He is charismatic though and so"
