''Sahara'' is a 1983 British-American adventure drama film directed by Andrew V. [=McLaglen=] and starring Creator/BrookeShields, Creator/LambertWilson, Creator/HorstBuchholz and Creator/JohnRhysDavies. The original music score was composed by Music/EnnioMorricone.

In 1927, R.J. Gordon develops a new racing vehicle to compete in the "Trans-African Auto Race", but dies in a practice run before he can participate. To save her father's dream and win the prize money, Gordon's daughter, Dale (Shields) disguises herself as a man and takes the place of her father in the race through the Sahara Desert. However, while taking a short-cut, she becomes embroiled in a tribal war between two Bedouin factions, where she catches the eyes of one of its leaders, Sheikh Jafar (Wilson).
