ESCAPE FROM ANGOLA

Cinemavixion Review

Leslie H. Martinson's "Escape from Angola" plunges viewers into a harrowing wilderness survival narrative. Released in 1976, the film chronicles the Mallory family's desperate flight through the treacherous African landscape after their truck is sabotaged amidst a rebellion. The plot, centered on protecting their mission and each other, effectively balances the immediacy of armed threats with the primal dangers of untamed nature. Stan Brock, Anne Collings, and the Tors family lead the cast in a performance that underscores the immense pressure and resilience required in their perilous journey. While the film may not have garnered widespread critical acclaim, its adventurous spirit and focus on family perseverance offer a compelling, if tense, cinematic experience for those drawn to survival thrillers.
