Short description

After her father dies, young Dale takes his place in a trans-African auto race, but ends up being abducted by a desert sheik.

What's left behind the scenes

John Guillermin was originally supposed to direct this film, but he was ultimately replaced by Andrew V. McLaglen.
Brooke Shields played the role of a racer's daughter who, after her father's death, decided to take his place in the Trans-African rally and was subsequently kidnapped by a sheikh. However, due to her age (Shields was 17 during filming), she was not yet old enough to have a driver's license, and was not even allowed to drive the car during filming. As a result, the filmmakers had to obtain special permission for the young actress.
