Ice Cold in Alex (1958)

In the heat of World War II, a ragtag ensemble of army personnel and two brave nurses are thrust into a perilous trek across the treacherous desert of North Africa. Their mission is daunting - to navigate an ambulance in dire need of maintenance through a hostile terrain riddled with enemy units, and reach the sanctuary of Alexandria. Tempting them all is the promise of a reward that seems nearly mythical under the blistering sun - an ice-cold beer. The journey, however, is far from a leisurely drive. The desert is as dangerous as it is vast, and the relentless threat of enemy actions adds a layer of complexity to their mission. Natural obstacles rise like monstrous challenges before them, and the sudden appearance of a mysterious "hitchhiker" brings an unnerving twist to their expedition. This is no ordinary road trip. It's an intense ordeal that pushes each member of the group to their very limits. Under the scorching sun and amidst the swirling sands, they must confront not only the physical hardships but also the turmoil of war. As the dream of that ice-cold lager in Alexandria keeps them going, the problems continue to mount, transforming their expedition into a thrilling and hair-raising undertaking. In "Ice Cold in Alex", the desert becomes a formidable test of survival and endurance, where the real battleground is not just the war-torn landscape, but the resilience of the human spirit.
