About this movie

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.

Great movie. A little rough at first, along with boring, but things get more interesting when the race starts. Viggo (aragorn, hehe) did a fantastic job, and b he is an amazing rider. I guess this movie is what made him even better a rider in lotr. Watch this if u are a horse lover. Enough of those stupid h cheesy horse movies, watch this one! If u love war horse, you will probably like this one.

For others, I'd give this a 3.5 or 4 star rating. But I've seen this movie so many times!

This love of life of a man and his horse and finding freedom in one self. Looking forward to watching this movie in another 8 to 10 years when or when I'm looking for the inspiration to carry on through the race of life.
