In a strife-torn Arab state, fanatical loyalists of a nationalist leader (Yul Brynner) attack a police van transporting him to prison and aid his escape into the deadly Arabian Desert. Escaping with him are fellow death row prisoners Huston (Jack Warden), a swashbuckling American who had embezzled a fortune from the Zahrain Oil Company and Tahar (Anthony Caruso), a sadistic maniac. Sal Mineo plays a student who helps the fugitives flee the pursuant police in a stolen ambulance. (official distributor synopsis)

A bunch of people are stumbling around the desert. At times, it’s boring and at other times, it flows nicely. But the ending crowns the whole thing, since the last action scene was filmed in such a manner that you can’t see anything through the clouds of sand. Anyways, the adventurous nature of the movie pretty much deserves a three-star review.
