Sounds like a remake of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Patrol_(1934_film)
(which was also a remake of a 1929 movie)

QuoteDuring World War I, the commanding officer of a small British patrol in the Mesopotamian desert is shot and killed by an unseen Arab sniper, leaving the Sergeant (Victor McLaglen) at a loss, since he had not been informed what their mission was. He decides to try to rejoin the brigade, even though he does not know where they are or where he is.

Eventually, the eleven men reach an oasis. During the night, one of the sentries is killed, the other seriously wounded, and all their horses are stolen, leaving them stranded. One by one, the remaining men are picked off by the unseen enemy. In desperation, the Sergeant sends two men chosen by lot on foot for help, but they are caught and tortured to death, before their bodies are sent back. The pilot of a British biplane spots the survivors, but nonchalantly lands nearby and is killed before he can be warned. The men take the machine gun from the plane and set the plane on fire in a desperate bid to attract British troops. Sanders (Boris Karloff), a religious fanatic, goes mad.

In the end, only the Sergeant is left. When the Arabs finally show themselves, he manages to kill them all with the machine gun he took from the airplane. Moments later, another British patrol arrives, attracted by the smoke from the burning plane.

question:

Does anyone remember a movie that was about a battle in North Africa, where the allies were guarding a village that had the only source of water in the area.

I was this movie in the 90's when I was a kid so I don't know how old this movie is. Does anyone know it?

Remake of "Flight Of The Navigator." ?
:p

Darth Wagtaros

Flight of the Navigator came out in the 80s. Not 90s.  And the remake does not exist.  There is no remake. NOTHING.
PDH!

Worth seeing just to watch Boris Karloff ham it up as a religious fanatic.  It's the only bad performance I've ever seen him do.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

EVERY movie with Hardy Krüger is divine.
