Scorpions, who were constantly active in the deserts of North Africa and faced enemy operations head-on. The film tribute to the British unit Long Range Desert Group creates authenticity with the Libyan sandy ocean and Chevrolet trucks. Tension is maintained through procedural activity in a minefield, and believable characters deliver speeches meant to blunt fear. However, the action scenes, along with the grains of sand, show signs of aging and the naivety and frugality of the creators. Nonetheless, the message that in war some were without a chance but gave others a chance to win is very clear.
