War drama in which a US deserter is taken in by a Borneo jungle
tribe only to find that the tribe are threatened by his country's
enemies as well. Learoyd (Nick Nolte) is sent to fight the Japanese
in tough jungle conditions and deserts, only to end up in a POW
camp anyway. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of a firing
squad, he flees into the Borneo jungle where he is taken in by a
tribe of natives called the Dayaks. The Dayaks grow to worship
Learoyd due to certain physical characteristics they perceive as
holy, and he is anointed king. When a British officer (Nigel
Havers) seeks out this 'King' for help in defeating the Japanese,
Learoyd remains reluctant to fight. However, as the relationship
between the men grows stronger and the Japanese begin to threaten
the Dayaks, Learoyd's warlike qualities come to the fore...
