Here's a description of the film from Movies Unlimited:

 Burn!  [image: DVD] (1970)
[image: Burn!]
Engrossing drama, laced with political allegory and based on a true
incident, stars Marlon Brando as a British agent sent to a 19th-century
Caribbean island to instigate a revolt by sugar cane workers against their
Portuguese overseers. Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo ("The Battle of
Algiers"). 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono;
Subtitles: English, French.

For a full review from the Washington Post, see:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32851-2004Oct14.html

Here are excerpts from the review by Michael O'Sullivan:
"If the rerelease of the film at this time has any resonance with what some
have pointed out as our own government's expedient flip-flopping on foreign
policy -- backing the Taliban against the Soviet Union at one point and then
branding them public enemy No. 1 at another, to name but one recent
accusation -- it's clearly meant to, just as the movie commented on the
Vietnam conflict at the time of its initial release."

"Brando's on-screen presence, as with all the actor's most interesting work,
is huge."
