This is a initially slow black & white film that is well worth watching for it's gripping second half where two trucks filled with unstable nitro-glycerin have to be driven through miles of tortuous terrain.

A story of the human ex-governor of Belzagor revisiting a planet which has now been returned to the natives.

Silverberg is trying to say some things about humanity and primitive society. It's nothing that hasn't been said before though. I don't care though and it goes back on my shelves for the future.
