Такого рода сюжеты неоднократно появлялись на экранах в разные годы, но всегда неизменно захватывали зрителя и давали отличную кассу. Обычно два абсолютно разных человека вынуждены бежать из тюряги вместе, и дальше их существование и свобода полностью зависят от умения найти общий язык, понять желания другого и примириться с непохожестью товарища по несчастью. Вот и в этом фильме образовалась такая парочка. Зашоренный и однобокий белый расист в исполнении Тони Кертиса и здоровенный негр в исполнении Сидни Пуатье мало сказать, что недолюбливают друг друга. Они и представить себе недавно не могли, что могут жить в одном ритме, прикасаться друг к другу, даже говорить… Но свобода дороже. И «скованные одной цепью» беглецы начинают свой страшный путь…

Black Eagle is based on The Passing of Black Eagle, a short story by O. Henry. William Bishop stars as Jason Bond, who stays out of trouble by the simple expedient of avoiding other people. Unfortunately, the plot dictates that Bond must come into contact with several characters, all of whom end up fleecing our hero in one way or another. Even so, Jason manages to enjoy a brief romance with pretty Ginny Long (Virginia Patton) before returning to his life of carefree vagabondage. A very minor film, The Black Eagle makes the most of its excellent supporting cast, including Gordon Jones, Trevor Bardette, Will Wright and stuntman extraordinaire Richard Talmadge.
