"It Will Take You On The Ride Of Your Life." - James Verniere, Boston Herald

A sandstorm of epic proportions. 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, the greatest long distance racer ever, faces in the rousing action-adventure Hidalgo. Based on a true story and starring Viggo Mortensen (The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy), Hopkins (Mortensen) 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, 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.
