Station Six-Sahara is a 1963 British film directed by Seth Holt. The movie follows a group of men who run an isolated oil station in the Sahara Desert, struggling to keep their business afloat. One day, a beautiful blonde named Thalia (played by Carroll Baker) arrives at the station, seeking refuge from the harsh desert environment. Thalia's arrival triggers a series of emotional conflicts among the men, each vying for her attention and affection.
The station is run by Gerald (Denholm Elliott), an emotionally distant and manipulative owner who is married to the station cook, Lucienne (Ulla Jacobsson). Also at the station are Kurt (Peter van Eyck), a German mechanic; Jimmy (Ian Bannen), the American pilot who flies in supplies; and Arafa (Gregory Ratoff), an elderly Egyptian servant who manages the water supply.
As Thalia settles into life at the station, she finds herself drawn to Jimmy, who is struggling with his own emotional demons. Jimmy's infatuation with Thalia puts him at odds with Kurt and Gerald, who see her as a commodity that can be used to secure their own desires. Meanwhile, Lucienne struggles to cope with the emotional strain placed on her by her husband's indifference and the arrival of Thalia.
The tension at the station comes to a head when a rival oil company threatens to take over their territory. As the men scramble to defend their business, they are forced to confront the unresolved emotions that have been simmering beneath the surface. In the end, Thalia's presence at the station leaves a lasting impact on each of the men, causing them to reevaluate their lives and relationships.
