The Brigand of Kandahar is a 1965 British adventure film directed by John Gilling and starring Ronald Lewis, Oliver Reed and Duncan Lamont.

In 1850 on the North West Frontier of India, in the bordering region of modern Afghanistan, a British garrison seethes with boredom.

With help from the tribesmen, Case escapes and flees into the mountains where he falls into the hands of Eli Khan, the leader of the brigands.

Colonel Drewe seeks to track down the whereabouts of Eli Khan's hiding place through raiding the local villages.

The raiding party is ambushed and after a brief skirmish the survivors, including Marriott are captured and taken as prisoners in front of Case who warns them not to attempt to escape or be killed.

After one of the sepoys is shot attempting to escape, Case sends Marriott to the fort with a message to the colonel guaranteeing the safety of any civilians who evacuate.

Colonel Drewe is persuaded by Marriott's vouchsafing of Case's intentions and sends the civilians to safety with a small escort.

During the fight she flees and finds a now conscious Marriot who steals mounts and they ride back to the fort together and warn the British of the imminent brigand attack.

The next day the brigands ride to the fort and are ambushed by the British; with mortars and grenadiers hidden in the bush and the main sepoy line laid out on a reverse slope.

Marriott is scathing of Drewe and recognises the racist treatment of a once promising officer, Case "whose shade of skin set the seal on his betrayal."

A Time Out reviewer wrote, "India in 1850 provides the backdrop (supposedly, at least, since papier mâché rocks and rural England are much in evidence) for a routine military adventure";[4] while TV Guide noted the "battle climax is fast, well staged, and entertaining.
