Plot
Di tahun 1929, diktator Italia Benito Mussolini (diperankan oleh Rod Steiger) yang berupaya mendirikan kembali dinasti kekaisaran Romawi di afrika, harus menghadapi perang panjang 20 yang dikobarkan oleh para pejuang Libya yang tidak mau negerinya di kolonialisasi untuk kepentingan Itali. Mussolini menunjuk jenderal Rodolfo Graziani (Oliver Reed) sebagai gubernur keenam di Libya, ia yakin sepenuhnya akan kredibilitas pasukannya akan bisa meredam pemberontakan di Libya dan mengembalikan kejayaan Imperium Romawi.

Omar Mukhtar (Anthony Quinn) leads the resistance to the fascists. A teacher by profession, guerilla by obligation, Mukhtar has committed himself to a war that cannot be won in his own lifetime. Graziani controls Libya with the might of the Italian Army. Tanks and aircraft are used in the desert for the first time. The Italians also committed atrocities: killing of prisoners of war, destruction of crops, and hamletting populations behind barbed wire.

Despite their bravery, the Libyan Arabs and Berbers suffered heavy losses, their relatively primitive weaponry was no match for mechanised warfare; despite all this, they continued to fight, and managed to keep the Italians from achieving complete victory for 20 years. Graziani was only able to achieve victory through deceit, deception, violation of the laws of war and human rights, and by the use of tanks and aircraft.

Despite their lack of modern weaponry, Graziani recognised the skill of his adversary in waging guerilla warfare. In one scene, Mukhtar refuses to kill a defenseless young officer, instead giving him the Italian flag to return with. Mukhtar says that Islam forbids him to kill captured soldiers and demands that he only fight for his homeland, and that Muslims are taught to hate war itself.

In the end, Mukhtar is captured and tried as a rebel. His lawyer states that since Mukhtar had never accepted Italian rule, he cannot be tried as a rebel, and instead must be treated as a prisonder of war (which would save him from being hanged). The judge rejects this, and the film ends with Mukthar being executed by hanging.

The Italian authorities had banned the film in 1982 because, in the words of Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, it was “damaging to the honor of the army. “. The last act of the government’s intervention against the film was on April 7, 1987, in Trento; afterward, MPs from Democrazia Proletaria asked Parliament to show the movie at the Chamber of Deputies.  The movie was finally broadcast on television in Italy by Sky Italy on June 11 2009, during the official visit to Italy of Libya’s leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.
