The Wind and the Lion: Directed by John Milius. With Sean Connery, Candice Bergen, Brian Keith, John Huston. A Berber chieftain triggers an international incident, drawing the involvement of Theodore Roosevelt, when he kidnaps an American widow and her children in 1900s Morocco.
Jun 6, 2020 · The film also features some superb acting. This is probably Candace Bergen's career best performance, and may be Brian Keith's as well. Most impressive of all is Sean Connery, who completely sells you on the character of Raisuli the Berber chieftain, even though he makes no attempt to disguise his thick Scottish accent.
The Wind and the Lion starts in Tangier in Morocco on October 15 1904 where an American woman named Eden Pedecaris (Candice Bergen) & her two young children Jennifer (Polly Gottesman) & William (Simon Harrison) are kidnapped by the gang of men lead by Moroccan rebel Mulay Hamid El Raisuli (Sean Connery) the Lord of the Rif, Sultan to the Berbers & the last of the Barbary Pirates.
Like "March or Die" or "Legionnaire," "The Wind and the Lion" is another movie that dealt with the conflict in Morocco in the early 20th Century of local rebels going against European influences. In this case, the Berber people are rebeling against the Sultan of Morocco called Abdelaziz (Marc Zuber), led by Raisuli (Sean Connery).
An American is kidnapped by a rebellious Arab chieftain, principally as a means to embarrass the Sultan of Morocco. This abduction sparks the threat of armed intervention by President Theodore Roosevelt.
