Paper Tiger is a 1975 British film starring David Niven and child actor Kazuhito Ando.

Synopsis

Mr Bradbury (David Niven), an apparently well-educated, ex-military Englishman is hired as tutor to Koichi Kagoyama (played by Kazuhito Ando), the son of a Japanese ambassador. Bradbury becomes a trusted friend, who boasts about himself during his British Army service being a hero telling him "war stories", but some painful truths are revealed after he and the boy are kidnapped by political terrorists. It comes to the point when Mr Bradbury has to live up to the "action man" he makes himself out to be.

Chark, un aventurier européen, arrive dans une bourgade d’un pays imaginaire d'Amérique latine, situé près de la frontière avec le Brésil, et où sont exploités des gisements de diamants. À ce moment, une révolte se prépare. Les prospecteurs de diamants, spoliés par l’État et dépouillés de leurs biens par le capitaine Ferrero, un despote corrompu, se préparent à attaquer la garnison gouvernementale. Chark, accusé de vol, est conduit à la garnison et incarcéré, mais il parvient à s’évader. Les prospecteurs attaquent la garnison mais l’armée envoie des renforts et l'attaque échoue. Les rebelles doivent fuir. Chark se joint à certains d’entre eux : Castin, un vieux prospecteur français que les diamants ont enrichi ; Maria, sa fille sourde-muette ; Djin, une prostituée que Castin voudrait épouser ; le père Lizardi, un prêtre missionnaire. Pour ce faire, ils s’emparent du bateau d’un trafiquant à la solde des militaires qui les trahira rapidement. Les fugitifs doivent abandonner le bateau et partir à pied dans une jungle touffue. Dans cet environnement hostile, les fugitifs ne savent pas exactement où aller. Ils ont l'intention de rejoindre le Brésil, mais leur situation devient de plus en plus désespérée. Alors qu’ils sont perdus, Chark part en éclaireur et découvre, au bord d’un lac situé à la frontière du Brésil, les restes d'un avion qui s’est écrasé en forêt récemment. Mais Castin est devenu fou ; il tue la prostituée puis le père Lizardi avant que Chark le tue à son tour. Chark et Maria essaient de gagner le Brésil dans un canot pneumatique.
