Action fueled?

Sea of Sand (1958)

Richard Attenborough features this British war film about the Long Range Desert Group and their behind the line raids in North Africa. On the eve of the battle of El Alamein a patrol is sent deep into the desert to take out an enemy fuel depot.

This film has pretty much everything you might expect with clash of styles between the leading officers, desert hardships and Attenborough as a less than respectful Trooper. While there are few surprises there are not many heavy clichés either providing another solid entry into the genre if not particularly tense or action filled. The general thrust of the piece is self sacrifice for the greater good.

3/5 a fairly average effort.
