Nicholas Meyer's historical drama, loosely based on fact, stars Pierce Brosnan as an agent of the East India Company. One night, he witnesses a murderous assault on a woman and, on investigation, finds the attackers were Thugees, a bizarre cult of killers. Determined to destroy them, he infiltrates their ranks but to gain acceptance, he must adopt their murderous ways. (Screenbound Pictures)
