I believe the film you're looking for is called Death on the Nile, and the only place I found anything was at scriptfly.com, but it'll cost you. Of course, the book is totally available on amazon.com. Script online? I didn't find anything.

The original Death on The Nile was a novel and adapted into a screenplay for film. It appears Agatha Christie herself adapted her novel into a stage play and re-titled this Murder On The Nile..

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was the queen of English detective fiction, renowned for her clever plots and prolific pen. Her sleuths include Hercule Poirot, probably the most famous detective after Sherlock Holmes, and the elderly Englishwoman Miss Marple. A classic Christie story is set in an English country house, features multiple plotlines and red herrings, and ends with a surprise solution--conspicuously omitted in Zap. Besides novels, she wrote many short stories and plays. The most famous of these is The Mousetrap, which opened in 1952 in London and is still playing, the longest continuously running play in history. The bulk of her plays are collected in The Mousetrap and Other Plays (Signet Books, 2000).


RECOMMENDED PLAYS
The Mousetrap
A group of strangers find themselves stranded at a remote English hotel during a snowstorm. One after another, they're murdered by one of their number. A great choice for reader's theater.

Murder on the Nile
Christie's adaptation of her novel Death on the Nile.

Witness for the Prosecution
A riveting courtroom drama with a shocking ending.


FILMS
Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
Death on the Nile (1978)
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Evil Under the Sun (1982)

A complete list of Christie's works, with summaries.

Agatha Christie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie

Agatha Christie works out of copyright at Project Gutenberg (not the plays)
http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/c#a451

Death on the Nile (episode #57)
http://www.tv.com/poirot/death-on-the-nile/episode/282118/summary.html

Eight years later, Agatha turned Death on the Nile into a stage play called Murder on the Nile, but (as with the other three Poirot books she adapted for the stage) Poirot himself was cut out of the story!

Publishers are Dodd, Mead in New York and Collins in London.

If you want a printed hardcopy of the play in script form you'll probably have to buy it..

You may possibly locate Murder On The Nile stage play at this web site..

Email them if you are unable to locate the book on their website..

If you are unable to acquire the published play from the above site then do a Google search for sites that sell stage plays or try Amazon..

Hope this helps any..
