Plot

Algeria, 1960. A unit of French paratroopers is sent to search for a missing plane in the desert. The wreckage of the plane is quickly located, but there are no survivors, just a briefcase stamped "defense secret." Assaulted by enemy soldiers of the National Liberation Army, the troops then find refuge in a strange citadel which seems abandoned. Despite the guardian's warnings, they wake up the Djinns, the evil spirits of the desert who kill each other on the patrol.
