Operation Orient(1978)

Operation Orient is a crime thriller set in Greece where a criminal gang stashes a major heroin shipment inside a statue. When the statue goes missing during transport, the gang dispatches one of its own to track down the thieves and recover their contraband. The film follows the ensuing cat-and-mouse game as the gang member navigates the criminal underworld to locate the stolen statue before rival factions or law enforcement close in. Tensions escalate as multiple parties converge on the prize, each with their own agenda. Operation Orient delivers a taut, gritty portrait of organized crime and the desperation that drives men to betray one another for profit.
