The Wilby Conspiracy

Inspired by writer Peter Driscoll’s novel about apartheid in South Africa, The Wilby Conspiracy follows the attempts of two men, British engineer Jim Koegh (Michael Caine) and activist Shack Twala (Sidney Poitier), to escape from the police, led by the menacing Major Horn (Nicol Williamson). Their only connection is Jim’s girlfriend (Prunella Gee), a lawyer who defended Shack against charges of racial agitation.
