Buy This Item Hidalgo (Full Screen Edition) by Touchstone / Disney  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 11-25-2008     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, 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. Reader Reviews If you like epic movies, this one is for you. Viggo (famous from Lord of the Ring) has impressive performance in this movie, so are other supporting actors. It has actions, humor, suspense, heros, villians. There is no kisses or love scenes, but the story is definitely romantic: the subtle hints, the journey, the exotic desert, etc. Most importantly, there is morality, value, loyalty, and friendship to this story, which is based on a real person. In the world of materialism and action thrills, this one stands out by far. Unfortunately it doesn't make a big hit at the theater; but so are some other good movies. However, I am sure you and younsters will enjoy watching this fascinating and unusual horse race. The photography is excellent. Watch it with your HD TV and you will see! Highly recommended!
