Cobra Verde

Notorious Brazilian outlaw Cobra Verde is dispatched to West Africa in the 19th century to reclaim a deserted Portuguese fort and persuade a powerful African leader to revive the slave trade with Brazil.

Klaus Kinski's character, Cobra Verde, is hired to oversee a plantation, but after being accused of impropriety with the owner's daughters, he's banished to Africa. Alone and the only white man in the area, Cobra Verde faces brutal treatment, but eventually finds himself leading a rebel army. As he struggles to cope with his isolation, he teeters on the brink of madness.
