- Synopsis
- This interesting black exploitation film combines the reality of police work with a number of fantasies by which St. John, one of the few black men on the police force, fills his empty existence. Despised by many of his coworkers and most of the street people, St. John pretends to be the first black astronaut or an explorer in Africa.
