I have seen this film at least 5 time as a viewer from my early teens through late 20's and as a U.S. Army Post theater projectionist I ran the film every night for four days. The picture is about several oil men in a multi-engine transport plane that gets caught in a sand storm which chokes up the engines forcing the pilot to crash-land in the middle of the desert (I believe the Flight of the Phoenix films were remakes of this movie). Using parts from the plane they use to refurbish a German WWII army tank they find (The German name on the side of the tank translates roughly to The Steel Lady), they fight their way to the rescue point for a very heroic ending I will not give away. Decently acted and a must see. I give it a high rating of 8.
