'''Sahara''' is a 1943 World War II film that focuses on the crew of US Army M3 Lee tank, commanded by U.S. Army Sergeant Joe Gunn ([[Humphrey Bogart]]) that becomes separated from its unit during a general retreat. In the course of their journey, the crew picks up a motley collection of stragglers, among them a British doctor, four assorted Commonwealth troops, and a Free French corporal. Later, they pick up a Sudanese sergeant major and his Italian prisoner, who volunteers to lead them to a well at Hassan Barani. As the well is completely dried up by the time the Germans arrive, a standoff and battle of wills begins. The 1943 film is based on an incident seen in the 1936 Soviet film [[Thirteen (Trinadtsat), The|The Thirteen]], which ironically was itself a remake of 1934 movie ''The Lost Patrol''. Making the things even more confusing, ''Sahara'' itself would inspire a [[Sahara (1995)|1995 remake]] starring [[James Belushi]]. | '''Sahara''' is a 1943 World War II film that focuses on the crew of US Army M3 Lee tank, commanded by U.S. Army Sergeant Joe Gunn ([[Humphrey Bogart]]) that becomes separated from its unit during a general retreat.
