Sahara Cross is a 1977 Italian action film directed by Tonino Valerii.

[4] Valerii stated that the film was originally titled Arissa Ballerina and written by Adriano Belli.

[4] Valerii commented that "In short, everything was the opposite of what Hitchcock recommended, that is, that characters must ignore what the viewer knows.

Gastaldi's contribution added new motivations for characters and included a few new scenes such as the battle between two bulldozers.
