A small group of military officers frustrated by the corruption and brutality of any fictional contemporary European or American government decide that they must overthrow the current administration. But the coup's leader worries that there is a spy in their group.
Colonel Narriman, an idealistic and soon-to-retire army officer, becomes sickened by the government's use of extra-judicial killing and torture to suppress the terrorist insurgency that their incompetence and corruption has fostered. Jean Rousseau persuades him that, instead of retiring, he should attempt to overthrow the regime for the good of the country.[5]
Worried about infiltration by agents of the hated internal security chief Blair, he emphasises operational security, as he knows he can expect no mercy if caught, while he builds the coup one important recruit at a time. A key such person is Colonel Zeller, whose armoured brigade is seen as vital for capturing the capital city quickly.
The final part of the film is the actual conduct of the coup attempt with exciting twists and surprises.
