If there was a category for "the ultimate action-adventure flick," this one might earn the title. Or at least it was one of the first greats. Gunga Din is also hilarious and has some great suspenseful moments. While watching, I couldn't help but wonder if Stephen Spielberg was influenced by this story and film for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I looked it up later and, of course, Spielberg's screenwriters wrote the screenplay based partly on Gunga Din. Points for the film student! :) It's definitely a fun escape.
