Die Hunde des Krieges (1980)
Der amerikanische Abenteurer und Söldner Jamie Shannon wird von einem britisches Bergbau-Unternehmen beauftragt, einen Staatsstreich im westafrikanischen Zangaro zu organisieren. Der Großkonzern hat es auf die reichen Bodenschätze des Landes abgesehen und schreckt dabei vor keinem Mittel zurück. Eigentlich möchte er sein bisheriges Leben an den Nagel hängen und in Frieden leben, doch dafür benötigt er etwas Startkapital. Nachdem sich Shannon vor Ort ein Bild über die dortigen Verhältnisse gemacht hat, stellt er ein fünfköpfiges Team aus Söldnern zusammen, um den zangaroischen Präsidenten zu stürzen und durch einen von seinen Auftraggebern ausgesuchten Exilpolitiker zu ersetzen. Allerdings kommen ihm bald Zweifel an dem Unternehmen, denn mit dem neuen Staatsoberhaupt wird lediglich ein Übel durch ein anderes ersetzt...
