Movie is the good old fashion kind with the political and the historical intrigue. Movie about very small group of American and European military and businessmen setting up the possible trade posts in land overpopulated by the China people. Many of the people very primitive compare to the newcomers and very suspicious of ways of newcomers. Of course does not take long for war to start and quickly the Europeans and the Americans are soon surrounding. Fortune keeps striking the ingenious ones as each large massive attacked repelled using the quick thinking and the superior strategy. Soon the supplies to be running out so use of the coy political move made through the daring mission of exploding main ammunition depot to make the large humiliation of the China Queen. Acting in the film very great especially that of Mr. Charlton Heston. Movie quality is very well made as most of film of this era is. If looking for fancy computer effects, not going to find here. Nothing here but the good old fashion movie. Good acting and direction make you be happy every time the good guys in film defeat the bad guys with the multiple countries celebrating at end. Movie get 10 out of the 10.
