Great Desert army war film including crusader tanks
The nine men are an English sergeant (Jack Lambert) and his eight charges, stranded in a crumbling fort in the Libyan desert during the African campaign. Held down by the gunfire of Italian troops, the men must secure the fort for the Allies and keep from being killed or captured. With no budget for spectacular battle scenes, NINE MEN must rely on psychological tension and the sweaty interplay among the nine soldiers.
 
I had not heard of this is it old or new??

Wasn't this done with Humphrey Bogart?:wink2:

You are thinking of the original "Sahara" which stars Bogie as the commander of an M3 tank lost in the desert with French, British, ANZAC, and a Sudenese soldier, who finds a decrepit building, under which there is a nearly dry well, and holds the well against 1,000 lost Germans, who eventually surrender to get the water, which comes out after shelling during the battle. It was remade in the 90's with Jim Belushi in the Bogart rule.

That's it. Saw it a long time ago. Sounded familiar.
