Troopers battle thirst and Indians, 14 August 2003
5/10
Author: cowboy7642 from Alexandria, VA

This western is a survival story as a cavalry sergeant leads six cavalry troopers and a few stagecoach travelers across barren desert flats and must battle thirst, sand-storms and Comanches. The film is a carbon-copy of the 1943 film "Sahara" in a western setting with the soldiers fighting Indians with other western movie clichés thrown in. Barbara Hale, the cast's only femme, shows how handy she can be with a repeating rifle. There are some fine battle scenes but most of the film is bogged down with dialogue for character development. An Indian boy nearly abandoned in the desert by the troopers later saves the day by reaching a distant fort to alert the soldiers of the endangered troop's situation and bringing the cavalry to the rescue.
