The Heroes (also known as Gli eroi, Les héros and Los héroes millonarios) is a 1973 Italian war-comedy film directed by Duccio Tessari.
Yul Brynner was announced to play the lead but pulled out.
Part of the film production was done in the Egyptian Western Desert, several miles near the pyramid of Mydoom. A small Carson City, Nevada was built with river Nile mud on a woven reed and palm baskets but looked authentic from a distance. The city was full scale at the entrance but half-scale behind it.
