The story

The film is set in November 1976, shortly after the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973–1974. A group of politicians within the Arab world support a radical agenda including a cap on international oil prices. Within 48 hours of this plan's becoming known to the Americans and Russians, the three top men in the group are assassinated — the Kuwaiti is defenestrated, the Saudi is shot, and the Tunisian (Adolfo Celi) is seduced, drugged, and asphyxiated.
