I've been digging for it some time. Saw it a couple years back. It's a historical film, set during one of British colonial wars, somewhere in Africa (want to say somewhere near Arabia, because they were fighting Muslims, but not sure). There were a lot of scenes in the desert. Some British soldiers were captured. There was this one dark-skinned native who was very strong and clever, helped them escape by drinking some kind of black potion that left them in a near death state. One guy's musket backfired and he became blind. There were some romantic elements, back in England. What else can I recall... There was a battle where the British soldiers were surrounded by some kind of Arabian horsemen, the British formed a defensive square but still were defeated IIRC.
If recall any other plot details, I'll post them. Please someone tell me that you've seen it, I'm dying to find it again.

You're not talking about Lawrence of Arabia are you?

If so, then I guess I am a river to my people :)
