A Man Called Sarge movie storyline. In North Africa during World War II in 1942, a group of American deserters from the French Foreign Legion are guided by a disoriented Arab across the Sahara to destroy German fuel depots in Tobruk. Each of the hapless commandos is a caricature: an American Indian; a New York Jew; a hillbilly; and, their leader, Sarge.
Joining the British army, they attempt to free Cheval, a major in the Free French forces whom the Germans have captured. Cheval has a straw hat, cane and sings in a poor caricature of Maurice Chevalier. Unbeknownst to Cheval, his girlfriend, Fifi, is a double agent for the Allies who poses as a traitor.
A Man Called Sarge is a 1990 American parody film, written and directed by Stuart Gillard, starring Gary Kroeger, Marc Singer, Gretchen German and introducing a young Natasha Lyonne. Set during the World War II North African Western Desert Campaign, it follows a misadventurous squad of French Foreign Legion deserters, led by their charismatic Sarge, who set out across the Sahara desert to strike a blow on the German-occupied city of Tobruk.
