Storyline
Held yearly for centuries, the Ocean of Fire--a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian desert--was a challenge restricted to the finest Arabian horses ever bred, the purest and noblest lines, owned by the greatest royal families. In 1890, a wealthy sheik invited an American, Frank T. Hopkins, and his horse to enter the race for the first time. During the course of his career, Hopkins was a cowboy and dispatch rider for the U.S. cavalry--and had once been billed as the greatest rider the West had ever known. The Sheik puts his claim to the test, pitting the American cowboy and his mustang, Hidalgo, against the world's greatest Arabian horses and Bedouin riders--some of whom are determined to prevent a foreigner from finishing the race. For Frank, the Ocean of Fire becomes not only a matter of pride and honor, but a race for his very survival as he and his horse attempt the impossible. Written by Sujit R. Varma

Trivia
In the beginning of the film, after the massacre of Wounded Knee, we see chief Big Foot lying dead in what seems to be an unnatural pose, left arm raised from the ground. This is an accurate depiction of the Miniconjou chief's actual death pose which was photographed. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: Such a see-through yashmak like the one Jazira is wearing would be absolutely unacceptable in Muslim cultures at that time. See more »Quotes
