What is X312 - Flight to Hell about?

X312 - Flight to Hell is a 1971 Germany/Spain action, crime, drama, and thriller film directed by Jesús Franco about survivors of a plane crash in the Amazon who are caught between the dangers of the jungle and a deadly hunt for smuggled diamonds.

Programmer's Pick

Jesús Franco swaps vampires for venomous greed, pitting a cast of shady survivors against jungle dangers and each other. Plane crashes may be routine, but diamond-smuggling bankers and Amazonian peril are pure exploitation gold.
