Escape from Zahrain

Amid turmoil in the Middle East, fanatical loyalists attack a police van transporting a nationalist leader (Yul Brynner) to prison and aid his escape into the desert, freeing a convicted American embezzler (Jack Warden) in the process. Sal Mineo plays a student who helps the fugitives flee the pursuant police in a stolen ambulance, and James Mason appears in an uncredited cameo in this vintage adventure yarn.
