The Flight of the Phoenix (Le Vol du Sphinx) 40 years old
Staubli is happy. He has just concluded a considerable deal with El Farik, one of his biggest successes as an arms dealer. To sign his final contract, Staubli takes the plane with Loussif, Serge Tournier and his wife Laura. During a stopover, a mechanical incident immobilizes the group for a few days in the Moroccan desert. Then Tom arrives, a pilot who trades with his old plane, the Sphinx. A small business that works well. But among these particular customers, Laura strangely reminds him of the one who left him and because of whom he left everything before...
