About this movie

The excitement begins when famed horseman Frank T. Hopkins (Mortensen) enters a grueling competition - "The Ocean Of Fire" - with his mustang Hidalgo. Together, they must not only survive a 3,000-mile race across blistering desert terrain; they must also thwart evil competitors who vow victory at any cost. Witness a sandstorm of epic proportions; a swarm of locusts so massive it obliterates the relentless sun, deadly traps that defy imagination. Based on a true story, this astounding tale of personal triumph will take your breath away.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely LOVE this movie! Have seen it numerous times and am swept up by the story every single time. The casting is excellent for all the characters, but I firmly believe that NO ONE else could have played Frank as well as Viggo Mortensen. Highly recommend this movie

Love the story and glad horses were saved.

One of my favorites!
