German Jews join forces with the English and a Canadian prisoner to raid Rommel's fuel supply in Libya during WWII. Along the way, the deal with traitors, Italian tanks, friendly strafe, German spies and other distractions. The desert makes for some spectacular widescreen photography, but it is occasionally marred by obvious back screen projection and other poor effects, which is odd considering it was nominated for an Oscar in that category.
