Antonio Banderas, Mark Strong & Freida Pinto star in this epic tale of honor, greed and betrayal from award-winning director Jean-Jacques Annaud. After years of bloody conflict, the leaders of two rival kingdoms reluctantly agree to stop the fighting. That is, until oil is discovered between their territories. Now it's up to their children--young lovers who have married in hopes of bringing the families together--to find a way to end the violence and bring peace to the land.
Set in the 1930s Arab states at the dawn of the oil boom, the story centers on a young Arab prince torn between allegiance to his conservative father and modern, liberal father-in-law.
