Operation Leopard

In May of1978, a squad of communist guerillas from neighboring Angola attack the mining town of Kolwezi in Katanga, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the former Belgian Congo). The Europeans who work for the Belgian mining business and the Africans who reside in the city are held hostage by the invaders, who begin a massacre by shooting both Europeans and Africans. Due to the fact that many of the Europeans are French, the French decide to launch a counterattack and dispatch a Paratrooper Regiment from the Foreign Legion. The film follows the lives of Delbart, a former non-commissioned officer about to return to France with his African wife and child, Damrémont, Delbart's replacement, Bia, a Zairian doctor, and Annie, an American married to a Belgian engineer, as well as Non com Legion officer Federico, the French Ambassador, and the Military Attaché.
