In the 1970s, groups of young Europeans ventured into the Sahara Desert with the intention of crossing it and experiencing «an adventure.» Ill-prepared, reckless, and ignorant of the terrain they were traversing, they faced life-threatening situations with unexpected consequences.

From the passion of these young people for adventure, the world’s most famous rally was born.

«Fin de Viaje, Sahara» tells one of these adventures.

Press and Academic Pass

Attendance at this film screening is reserved for academics, press and personal guests.

If you are media or film industry related, please indicate:
In 1985, Antonio R. Cabal released a film titled «Sahara.» With significant media impact, it was distributed by Warner, won several awards, and was exported to over 25 countries, becoming the first Spanish film sold to China. In 1990, he withdrew the film from the market, canceling or allowing contracts to expire, and it was last seen on TVE in 1992. It was never digitized, not released on DVD, nor distributed on platforms.

Now, we have recovered the original 25,000 meters of unused negative film, completed remastering, restoration, editing, and post-production of the original material, both in image and sound. This has given rise to a new film, «Fin de Viaje – Sahara,» featuring over 1 hour of new visual material and new plotlines. Unprecedentedly, after obtaining the Spanish nationality certificate as a new film in 2023 from the Ministry of Culture, we are releasing it again for distribution in national and international cinemas.

The film is remarkable for its production process and its narrative. In this case, it tells the story of two Madrileños who, in 1973, decide to cross the desert in a Land Rover. When they encounter three Frenchmen, their journey becomes complicated with a love story and a confrontation with desert pirates. Furthermore, their coexistence in a Tuareg village is enriched by the presence of a mysterious girl and a Tuareg princess, adding a magical touch to this adventure.

It is a true and authentic «road movie» covering 7,200 km through treacherous trans-Saharan tracks, with a challenging production that culminates in a Tuareg village deep in Algeria. It is a commercial product with impressive cinematography, high technical quality, outstanding performances, and original music and songs.

It is an extraordinary product.
