East of Sudan is a 1964 British adventure film directed by Nathan Juran and featuring Anthony Quayle, Sylvia Syms and Derek Fowlds.

Plot

During the height of the Mahdist insurrection in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, the Mahdist forces attack Barash, a British outpost 200 miles upriver from Khartum.

Four people escape from the attack in a riverboat: Private Richard Baker, a soldier in the British army; an inexperienced subaltern, Murchison; Asua, the daughter of the local Emir; and Asua's British governess, Margret Woodville.

Over the course of the journey, the group find themselves in perilous dangers of the Nile and its banks. Facing off nature, Arab slavers and a backward Negro tribe they prey on, they are saved by King Gondoko's missionary-raised brother Kimrasi, who then joins them.

Murchison and Naker frequently clash and Baker and Margaret fall in love.

Once in the capital Khartoum, they find the revolt has reached it and the men join the fight...
