Lawrence von Arabien
Der britische Offizier Lawrence wird auf die arabische Halbinsel geschickt, um die dortigen politischen Entwicklungen unter Prinz Faisal zu beobachten und den Aufstand der Araber gegen das Osmanische Reich zu unterstützen. Schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft wird dem Briten schonungslos vermittelt, dass es zwischen den verschiedenen Beduinenstämmen einige Konflikte gibt. Wer sich nicht an die Regeln hält, wird erschossen. Im Lager des Prinzen Faisal trifft Lawrence erneut auf Sherif Ali, der ihm bereits in der Wüste begegnete. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf den Weg, die Wüste Nefud zu durchqueren, um so nach Akaba zu gelangen...

Rumour has it that Albert Finney was offered the lead role and suggested Peter O'Toole instead. If that is true (or not) then clearly serendipity was already on hand to guide this rendition of the story of…
Totally lives up to its reputation as a classic. A gripping story of a man that loses his soul that makes almost 4 hours seem like two, and with photography that hasn't aged whatsoever.
