Информация о фильме

A swarm of locusts so massive it obliterates the relentless sun. Deadly traps that defy imagination. These are just a few of the astonishing obstacles Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen), the greatest long-distance racer ever, faces in the rousing action-adventure HIDALGO. Based on a true story, Hopkins and his mustang Hidalgo enter the ultimate extreme sport of its time -- the Ocean Of Fire. Underdogs challenging the finest Arabian horses and riders, they must not only survive the grueling race across 3,000 miles of the Arabian Desert's punishing terrain, but they must thwart the evil plots of competitors who vow victory at all costs! A great story of personal triumph, amazing special effects, and memorable characters make HIDALGO one of the most thrilling adventures ever.

This is one of my favourite movies. I love it for the scenery, for the brief glimpses of (and in some cases, gentle mockery of) cultures (Lakota, Cowboy, Bedouin, English colonial). It's an epic journey of breaking all the rules to survive. There's lots of choreographed sword and gunfights, it isn't a kids' movie where nobody dies. There's feats of bravery and courage and honour. I loved this movie for being old school - the hero is allowed to be a hero and a good man, he isn't mocked for it.

No movie is ever perfect. This movie is a must see for ppl into horses,cowboys etc

Fantastic story, beautiful horses, great actors, what more can I ask for?
