Storyline
Four American friends, badly needing money, decide to make a commando-like raid into a South American country and steal $5 million from the hacienda of an American-born drug dealer who lives there. The four Americans then succeed rather easily in stealing the money, but soon run into trouble trying to get back out of the country, as both the drug dealer and a small army of bandits each hunt them down trying to get the money.

Trivia
Actors Bruce Davison and James Brolin actually crossed the very narrow and wobbly rope footbridge (with safety harnesses) that is suspended across a two hundred foot deep gorge that is seen in one of the movie's action sequences. However, stunt doubles took over for when the two fall off the bridge when it collapses. See more »Goofs
The men first set out on the trip in a Chevy blazer but when they stop to pick up the guns they arrive in a dodge ram charger. See more »Quotes

High Risk is a half-forgotten gem that deserves to be rediscovered. The cast is incredible, and the story - though far fetched - makes for a lot of fun.
Four buddies (James Brolin, Chick Venera, Bruce Davison and Cleavon Little) parachute into a South American country. Their objective is simple: they intend to storm the mansion of a drug lord and steal his fortune. However, their getaway goes awry and they find themselves split into two groups, one group pursued by the drug lord's henchmen, and the other group imprisoned by a bunch of hill dwelling bandits led by the irascible Anthony Quinn.
The action in this movie rarely lets up, and on the few occasions when it pauses for a quick breath there's always some genuinely funny comic moment to lighten the suspense. Ernest Borgnine has a great cameo at the start as a gun supplier; James Coburn's drug lord is engagingly funny and psychotic; even Lindsay Wagner has a juicy role as a woman who gets mixed up with the plot and is more than capable of blasting her way out of trouble with a rifle. The climax, involving a machine-gun laden airplane that swoops in to rescue the adventurers whilst blaring out the song "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", is action movie making at its finest! Great movie... seek it out and prepare to be blown away!
