Desert Sands

Sheik El Zanal (Keith Larsen) and his faithful sister, Princess Zara (Marla English), plot revenge on an outpost of the French Foreign Legion 15 years after their parents are murdered in cold blood by men dressed as legionnaires. After the brutal massacre of a patrol unit, the fort's newly assigned commander, Capt. David Malcolm (Ralph Meeker), battles the cunning El Zanal and his henchmen while waiting for reinforcements -- and finding himself unexpectedly attracted to the beautiful Zara.
