ESCAPE FROM ANGOLA

Cinemavixion Review

Leslie H. Martinson's "Escape from Angola" from 1976 plunges viewers into a harrowing journey through the untamed Angolan wilderness. The film masterfully depicts the desperate flight of a farming family, portrayed with earnest conviction by Stan Brock, Anne Collings, and Steven Tors, as they evade the brutal advance of rebels. The narrative suspense is amplified by the unforgiving natural landscape, which serves as both an obstacle and a character in itself. While the external data suggests a modest IMDb rating, the film's strength lies in its straightforward adventure plotting and its depiction of a primal struggle for survival against overwhelming odds. It is a compelling, if perhaps understated, exploration of human resilience amidst conflict and the raw power of nature.
