      Narciso R Awesome movie. Watch it when I have a chance. NRJ. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Randy W One of the best world war II movies of all time. What I like about the movie was a variety of different people of different nationalities races and cultures all come together and work as a team to defeat a common enemy this movie transcends any racial or cultural barriers as well as it just being an all around great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review david l Sahara is a 40s action war movie that lacked sophistication in its script and dialogue, but the battle thrills were there and the production design was particularly splendid, evoking the danger of the desert effortlessly. Technically outstanding, the movie has slim characterization, but excellent acting from everybody involved including the expectedly phenomenal Humphrey Bogart. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review george l It's a good war movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tom M Among the best contemporary WW2 films made. One of Bogart's finest performances but it's the story of a unified Allied group from all over the world overcoming great odds against the Nazis that makes this movie great. Imagine watching this in 1943 when the outcome of the war was very much in doubt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/21 Full Review steve d Interesting enough story makes it watchable.

      Variety Staff Variety Packed with pithy dialog, lusty action and suspense, and logically and well-devised situations avoiding ultra-theatrics throughout. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Derek Adams Time Out Watchable more for its strong cast than for its credibility or its pretensions ... Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films One of the best WWII-era WWII movies… a thoroughly entertaining war actioner starring Humphrey Bogart as a tough American sergeant commanding a tank crew in the Libyan desert. Rated: A- Jun 24, 2003 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia A somewhat dull war film from Zoltan Korda. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Ian Kane Epoch Times ... what we get with “Sahara” is a gritty, riveting war drama that transports us to another place and time, far off in a no man’s land, with characters who are believable and multidimensional. Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2023 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Zoltan Korda's wartime coalition is more Air Force muscularity than In Which We Serve fustiness Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
