Handlung
Der britische Offizier Lawrence wird auf die arabische Halbinsel geschickt, um die dortigen politischen Entwicklungen unter Prinz Faisal zu beobachten und den Aufstand der Araber gegen das Osmanische Reich zu unterstützen. Schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft wird dem Briten schonungslos vermittelt, dass es zwischen den verschiedenen Beduinenstämmen einige Konflikte gibt. Wer sich nicht an die Regeln hält, wird erschossen. Im Lager des Prinzen Faisal trifft Lawrence erneut auf Sherif Ali, der ihm bereits in der Wüste begegnete. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf den Weg, die Wüste Nefud zu durchqueren, um so nach Akaba zu gelangen...
