| | Hidalgo - Synopsis |
Based on the true story of the greatest long-distance horse race ever run,
"Hidalg" is an epic action-adventure and one man's journey of personal
redemption. 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, owned by the
greatest royal families. In 1890, a wealthy Sheik invited an American and
his horse to enter the race for the first time. Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo
Mortensen) was a cowboy and dispatch rider for the US cavalry who had
once been billed as the greatest rider the West had ever known. The Sheik
(Omar Sharif) would put this 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 were determined to prevent the 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, Hidalgo, attempt the impossible.
