John Bramble, member of a tank crew in a British Army installation in Egypt during World War II, survives a devastating German attack, barely escaping the scene alive. Seeking refuge in an Egyptian hotel, he learns that Germany's General Rommel is stationed there. Disguising himself as a hotel waiter and German sympathizer, Bramble plots sabotage and the murder of Rommel, working to maintain the trust of the Egyptian hotelier and a French chambermaid in this gripping wartime drama.
