Villains Valliant

After various transgressions and crimes, four men find themselves together in the gruelling training regime that only the Foreign Legion can administer. The events prior to enrolling in the Legion are full of adventure and excitement, resulting in shootouts, murder and executions. Believing themselves to be safe and out of harms way, they could not have been more wrong. Danger lurks around each corner, and the men are living on their wits end. Not only have they a vicious enemy to worry about, but the cruel and sadistic NCO's are forever on their backs, looking for an excuse to punish them for the slightest misdemeanour.

After considering desertion, and the terrible punishment incurred, they decide to train as parachutists to escape the wrath of their tormentors. With the promise of better pay and conditions, they all agree, and undertake the gruelling training before being given their coveted wings.

Now fully fledged parachutist, they are sent on a mission to Vietnam in Indo China, to act as rear-guard whilst the defenders of the outpost garrison, attempt a divisive retreat. Being overwhelmed and outnumbered, the rear-guard must decide to surrender to a cruel and sadistic enemy, or take their chances escaping over mountains and jungle to reach French forces and regroup.

The alternative to escape is to be interned into a vicious and barbaric prison camp, where executions and torture are practised on a daily basis. Those unfortunate enough to be imprisoned there face starvation, and torture on daily basis. Escape is out of the question as well as being an impossibility. However there are those there that risk their lives in a desperate attempt to break free.
