How does the film Lawrence of Arabia portray the capture of Aqaba?

In the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia, the capture of the Turkish-held port of Al-Aqabah is portrayed as a strategic masterstroke conceived by T.E. Lawrence.1

While British Colonel Harry Brighton argues that the lightly armed Arab forces should retreat, Lawrence proposes an unconventional plan to attack the port from the landward side, where it is unguarded. This approach requires crossing the Al-Nafud, a desert considered impassable.1

The film depicts Lawrence setting out on this journey with 50 of Prince Feisal's men and Sherif Ali. During the trek, Lawrence demonstrates his commitment by retracing his steps to rescue a man who had fallen behind, an act of heroism that leads Sherif Ali to replace Lawrence's British uniform with Arab robes. Upon reaching the outskirts of the port, Lawrence successfully persuades Auda abu Tayi, a powerful local Bedouin leader, to join their forces. The combined group then launches a successful assault to capture the port.1
