Lost Patrol, The (1934)

A great film, familiar because it’s been copied, about a troop of men who are trapped in a desert oasis and must survive snipers, and each other, while waiting for relief that may never come. Directed by John Ford, the cast includes Victor McLaglen as the Sergeant, Boris Karloff as a religious soldier (somewhat of a fanatic), Wallace Ford, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale as one of the soldiers who volunteers to go for help, and J.M. Kerrigan. This marks Max Steiner’s first (out of 24!) Oscar nominated Score, he won three in his career including for Now, Voyager (1942) & Since You Went Away (1944).
