- During the 11th century, Persian poet Omar Khayyam's lover marries the Shah but the Shah, whose life is threatened by a sect of assassins, appoints Omar royal advisor.
- Kamran is a 12-year-old boy in the present day who discovers that his ancestor is 11th-century mathematician, astronomer, and poet of Persia Omar Khayyam. The story has been passed down in his family from one generation to another, and now it is his responsibility to keep the story alive for future generations. The film takes us from the modern day to the epic past where the mutual love for a beautiful woman separates Omar Khayyam and Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins) from their eternal bond of friendship. Filmed almost entirely on location in Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
- Omar, poetry piece-worker, falls for Atta Bey-Bee, favorite in the harem of Sultan Hassan Feifeh, and invades the latter's seraglio in order to glimpse his new-found love. Omar overpowers the eunuch guards of the harem, but is detected by the sultan and chased all over the establishment. Disguised as a dancer, Omar returns and vamps the sultan. Rescuing Atta, he discovers she already has a hubby waiting for her, so he swears off further harem-scarem adventure. Moral: When a man decides to take a wife he should be careful whose wife he takes.
- Today's quote is from the Rubaiyat, written by 11th-century poet Omar Khayyam. It speaks to following your impulses and never apologizing for them.
