The Lost Patrol
The Lost Patrol
A World War I British Army patrol is crossing the Mesopotomian desert when their commanding officer, the only one who knows their destination is killed by the bullet of unseen bandits. The patrol's sergeant keeps them heading north on the assumption that they will hit their brigade. They stop for the night at an oasis and awake the next morning to find their horses stolen, their sentry dead, the oasis surrounded and survival difficult.

“The Lost Patrol” may lack the high-paced action typical of war films, but it makes up for it with relentless tension and a creeping sense of doom. As the soldiers’ situation grows more desperate, their minds unravel, turning the film into a slow-burn study of fear and survival. Packed with existential dread, it keeps you engaged not through battles but through the inevitability of fate closing in.
