Soldier of Fortune is a 1955 adventure film about the rescue of an American held prisoner in the People's Republic of China in the 1950s. It starred Clark Gable and Susan Hayward.

Jane Hoyt (Susan Hayward) arrives in Hong Kong, looking for someone to attempt to free her husband, photojournalist Louis Hoyt (Gene Barry), from a Communist Chinese prison. Soldier of fortune Hank Lee (Clark Gable) first tries to convince her to give up the foolhardy venture; when she rejects his advice, he reluctantly helps her recruiting efforts. Finally, he falls in love with her.

Realizing that she won't let herself get involved with him while her husband's fate remains uncertain, he decides to rescue the man himself. Inspector Merryweather (Michael Rennie) of the Hong Kong police tries to stop him and is shanghaied aboard Lee's junk for his trouble. Hoyt is freed, but Merryweather is forced to help Lee fight off a Chinese gunboat sent in pursuit. When they return safely to Hong Kong, Hoyt graciously bows out of his wife's life.
