Sahara is a 1943 war action film directed by Zoltan Korda. The film is set during World War II after the fall of Tobruk in June of 1942. The U.S Army sergeant Joe Gunn (played by Humphrey Bogart) who has led his tank into the Sahara desert so as to evade the advancing forces of Rommel and reach the Allied lines. On the way he picks up a few Allied soldiers (five British soldiers, a Frenchman, and a Sudanese man with an Italian prisoner) but soon they start running out of water. The soldiers end up finding water within an ancient well. However this well is the location goal of an entire German battalion. Despite of these seemingly impossible odds Sergeant Gunn decides to defend the old well. This is an excellent war movie and one of the best from the 1940s. It features a fantastic soundtrack score by Miklos Rozsa.moreless
