A taut 1970s thriller about corporate greed and sabotage, driven by suspense and action rather than character depth.

Rod Slater is the newly appointed general manager of the Sonderditch gold mine, but he stumbles across an ingenious plot to flood the mine, by drilling into an underground lake, so the unscrupulous owners can make a killing in the international gold market.
