Hidalgo

Viggo Mortensen, Zuleikha Robinson, Omar Sharif, Louise Lombard

Held yearly for centuries, the Ocean of Fire--a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian desert--was a challenge restricted to the finest Arabian horses ever bred, the purest and noblest lines, own...( read more  read more... )ed by the greatest royal families. In 1890, a wealthy sheik invited an American, Frank T. Hopkins, and his horse to enter the race for the first time. During the course of his career, Hopkins was a cowboy and dispatch rider for the U.S. cavalry--and had once been billed as the greatest rider the West had ever known. The Sheik puts his claim to the test, pitting the American cowboy and his mustang, Hidalgo, against the world's greatest Arabian horses and Bedouin riders--some of whom are determined to prevent a foreigner from finishing the race. For Frank, the Ocean of Fire becomes not only a matter of pride and honor, but a race for his very survival as he and his horse attempt the impossible.

    A decent, entertaining adventure saga in the line of The Mummy that, in the hands of Spielberg a few years ago, could have become a classic. Offers a lot of adventure, exotic locations, magnificent horses, a love story and nice reminders of Indiana Jones and Laur...( read more)ence of Arabia. Viggo Mortensen is solid as the western cowboy, radiating charm, easy humor and determination, as well as making the bond between man and horses believable. However, it's the legendary Omar Sharif who shines the most. Fun and nice old fashioned matinee-style entertainment.
