The son of the Duke Atredies, Paul, is thrust into the desert of the planet Arrakis, known to the inhabitants as Dune, a world oppressed by the harsh family Harkonnen, where water is a rare comidity.

In order to get revenge, Paul must battle his way to gain control of what his father called "Desert Power."

How Herbert created a new world and how the story is so complicated but still is understandable at it's fast pace.

Read the second book.

He is a genius.

Although the movie has many inconsistencies over which I am angered, it is also worth watching, both versions. Although I personally like the newer version by the Sci Fi chanel better.
