After being severely disillusioned, Frank Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen~ you know, Aragorn from LOTR) turns to a life of drinkingn while he performs in the Buffalo Boll Wild West Show in the 1880's. A man from the middle east arrives and challenges Frank to the great race across the Arabian Desert. Having nothing to lose except his life, Frank accepts and takes his horse Hidalgo across the ocean to attempt the unthinkable. A Wild Mustang would be racing 3000 miles against the best thoroughbreds in Arabia- its not possible for such a small, ill-bred horse to compete- Frank is told. But, Hidalgo and Frank have strength of character and determination on their side. The race is complete with sandstorms, sword fights, rescuing a damsel in distress, and evil men intent of killing all competition. A wonderful, entertaining chase! An appropriate movie for the family- ages 10 and up.
