　　贝尔西是土耳其、德国联军的重要阵地，占领此地对于英军来说至关重要。但贝尔西矗立在沙漠中，战士们要想在沙漠中作战，水源十分重要，即使战士们攻破此地，如果敌方毁掉水源，整个队伍仍然会全军覆没，加上土耳其军队防守严密，攻破贝尔西十分困难。
　　经上级指示，鲍彻中校率领第四骑兵团支援前线，他们在军营中备战，离开家乡3年的士兵们，在练兵空闲时，常常会流露出对家人的深深思念。由士兵弗兰克、泰斯、斯克迪、韦斯组成的小分队，在战场上十分勇猛，他们的感情深厚亲如兄弟。

　　第四骑兵团接到了上级的命令，去炸毁敌方铁轨，切断他们与外界的来往。这是戴夫第一次参加战斗，他们顺利成功的完成了任务，但巨大的爆炸声引来了敌方的军队，他们和敌人进行了一场激烈的枪战，就在士兵们，猛烈的向敌人开火时，戴夫没有发出一枚子弹，开枪打人对于他来说十分困难。小分队的成员，为戴夫的行为感到耻辱，认为他是个懦夫，不再理睬他。戴夫也感到内疚，他的哥哥死在战场，他不想看到有人在死，即使是敌人，他的这种心理障碍使他不能正常作战。
　　在一次空袭中戴夫为了保护小分队成员的战马身受重伤，送往医院治疗，他向战友证明了自己并不是懦夫，并和小分队成员产生了深厚的情感。在治疗期间，他遇见了美丽的护士埃米，埃米对她无微不至的照顾，使两人擦出了爱情的火花。由于自己心理障碍无法作战，组织决定安排他去占地医疗队进行救护伤员，退出了一线战场。

　　Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
　　The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
