Sahara Blu-ray

'Sahara' Director: Zoltán Korda (1943) Indicator Limited Edition Blu-ray | HD remaster

Humphrey Bogart, Bruce Bennett and J. Carrol Naish star this thrilling tale of World War II heroism.

Separated from his unit following the fall of Tobruk, a Master Sergeant and his crew flee in a tank across the Sahara, picking up a variety of stragglers and prisoners along the way. With their survival entirely dependent on the water from a depleted well, the group must defend it against a whole German battalion.

Shot under harsh conditions in the unforgiving landscape of the Colorado Desert, the production of Sahara utilised an entire US Army division as extras, adding to the film’s gritty sense of realism.
