The film was based on a fighter Omar Mukhtar, who fought a guerilla war against the entire army of Italian fascist ruler Mussolini in Libya. After this war which lasted from 1911 to 1931, Omar Mukhtar was caught and hanged by Mussolini's army. There was a dialogue in the climax of this film starring Anthony Quinn -

"We will never surrender. We will either win or die. You will have to fight for your future generations."
