Lawrence Of Arabia
This thriller tells about a seasoned British lieutenant named T.E. Lawrence and may have considerable experience in the affairs of the indigenous Bedouin tribes in the Arab deserts. Lawrence went on a mission to the Arabian Peninsula to meet Prince Faisal to work out an agreement between the Arabs and the British in order to fight against the armies of the Turks. Suddenly, Lawrence helped Sharif Ali resist the orders of his superior commander and beat him on a mobile trip across the desert to attack a strong Turkish port and guarded by Turkey.
