Jonathan (Christopher MItchum) signs a two year contract to work in a copper mine. The work is hard and the workers are treated almost like slaves. Jonathan meets and falls for the mine manager's wife, Consuelo (Claudine Auger). Jonathan and Consuelo hatch a plan for him to escape so they can meet up later.

As dull as that plot summary is, it actually makes Bloody Sun (or Blue Jeans and Dynamite) sound much more exciting than it really is. The events I mentioned take up about ten minutes of the roughly 90 minute runtime. The other 80 minutes are excuritating. This has to be one of the dullest movies i"ve ever sat down to watch. The film just drags from one bleak, ugly looking scene to the next, with nothing, and I repeat nothing, happening. There's not a single moment to bring you to the edge of your seat with anticipation. Heck, there's not even more than a moment or two where I even cared about what was happening on-screen at all. Good guys and bad guys are equally painful to watch.

Not only is Bloody Sun one of the dullest movies I've ever had the misfortune to watch, it's also one of the ugliest. For the most part, the color palette ranges from brown to brown. The cinematography and lighting are generally hideous. It takes some real talent to make Claudine Auger look this bad.
