Corrected entry: When the captured Al and Dirk are cuffed to the metal platform on the back of the truck, They get free by pushing themselves off the back of the truck. They walk through the sands of the Sahara, without water, cuffed to a heavy, metal platform. Without water and with the high temperatures and the metal platform making it even hotter, it wouldn't take long for them to die.

Corrected entry: This error is in the part where Eva, Dirk and Al are trying to jump on the train. You have three camels by the tracks and the characters buried in the sand, ready to jump as the train passes. Sand gets hot very easily and in the Sahara the temperature reaches 50C. If someone would be buried in the hot sands of the Sahara, the person would be dead very fast.
Correction: They might have stayed right next to the camels until the train was upon them and then buried themselves. You don't know how long they were buried. A survival technique used by Legionnaires is to dig down into sand and lie down, preferably with material to cover shallow trench. Only a few inches down, the temperature can be substantially cooler.
