Action in Arabia (also known as Danger in Damascus and International Zone) is a 1944 American spy thriller film directed by Leonide Moguy and starring George Sanders and Virginia Bruce.

Intrigue centers around the actions of Josef Danesco (Gene Lockhart) who offers to sell information, as well as French diplomatic official Andre Leroux (André Charlot) and Eric Latimer (Alan Napier), the owner of the Hotel International, both suspected of having connections with the Nazis.

Gordon enlists the help of Mathew Reed (Robert Armstrong), a member of the American Legation and uncovers a plot to maneuver the Arabs into an insurrection as a diversion for an attack on the Suez Canal by the Nazis.

Years earlier, filmmakers Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper had shot footage for an unrealized film about Lawrence of Arabia, that they were planning as a follow-up to their hit, King Kong (1933).
