Lance A This movie is a great and accurate depiction of buzkachi and its importance in the Afghan culture. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/14/22 Full Review Mike W Jack Palance and Omar Sharif at their best. The movie was brutal even without killing and guns. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/22 Full Review Audience Member Uraz (Omar Sharif) is the son of Tursen (Jack Palance), a stable master and retired buzkashi player, a sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to place a goat or calf carcass in a goal. He has lost his honor when he breaks his leg in a game that his father has bet all of the family's money on, which means he has to learn how to ride and play again, despite most of his leg. Based on Joseph Kessel's Les cavaliers, this was scripted by Dalton Trumbo and directed by John Frankenheimer, who loved the movie even if it wasn't a financial success. There's a lot of animal violence in this, so be warned. I mean, it's a game played with a dead animal, after all. The same game is played in Rambo III, in case you wondered. Like that movie, the Afghanistan of this film is long gone. It's a big Hollywood film about a sport and a place that I can imagine very few people were interested in, which makes me interested in it.
