A tale of damnation and despair, of descent into madness, and of the punishment that society often exacts if you are daring, creative, and bold, this movie will change your life. Broad, endless vistas, stretching your soul out into the emptiness, convey the true immensity of the desert. Armies of a thousand screaming horsemen, Allah's vengeance in their hearts, charge hell-for-leather into battle. Terrible slaughter, and it is up to you to decide whether the victims are undeserving. A hero who can do no wrong, except in his own eyes. The grand complexities of Arabian nomad society complete, with sheikhs, princes, and scum. The harsh, unforgiving environment of the most terrible of battlegrounds. You will appreciate the film's unusual length, because it could not be shortened without losing its terrifying impact. The film that puts all other epics to shame, the original reason for the paradoxical lure of the desert: Lawrence of Arabia! Watch it and be changed forever.
