The Deceivers

India, 1825: the country is being ravaged by the Thugees, cult members also known as "the Deceivers," who commit robbery and ritualistic murder. Appalled by their activities, English Captain William Savage undertakes a hazardous task: in disguise he will himself become a 'Deceiver' and infiltrate their ranks. He is at constant risk of betrayal and vengeance and undergoes a disturbing psychological transformation as he experiences the cult's bloodlust firsthand. Starring Pierce Brosnan and stunningly photographed by Walter Lassally, The Deceivers is an exotic, gripping adventure yarn - reportedly based on a true story - that charts one man's daring exploits to expose a murderous secret society.
