I’m trying to remember the name of a movie. I can recall the following:

  1. There are a bunch of men under a leader that are in an Army. Presumably American army.
  2. They are in a desert type area.
  3. They kidnap a woman dressed in a black arabian princess type outfit. One of the other men tries to nab another woman, but the leader tells him they only need the princess.
  4. The princess later starts to fall in love with the army leader. He admires her bravery.

Maybe ?

According to user [januszlvii] review from IMDB:

Zara however, did not know until she heard El Zanal and Jala talking about it. Zara ( unlike her brother) was not a complete hater: She loved the American Captain David Malcolm ( Ralph Meeker) of the French Foreign Legion ( and although he hates to admit it, the feeling is very mutual).

Wow, that is remarkably close in many of the details. But unfortunately that isn't the movie I recall.
