Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mostly-fictionalized account of the life of Genghis Khan (Omar Sharif), the Mongol warlord whose 13th-century armies conquered much of the known world. Named Temujin (Carlo Cura), he was taken prisoner by rival warlord Jamuga (Stephen Boyd), and as punishment, was forced to wear a large round wooden stock that severely restricted his movements. With help from two supporters, wise man Geen (Sir Michael Hordern) and strong man Sengal (Woody Strode), he manages to escape. He now begins his quest to unify all of the Mongol tribes. He faces great success, but his old nemesis Jamuga keeps appearing at various times in his life, leading to a final battle between the two. Written by garykmcd |

[about the Caravan Road]
The Shah of Khwarezm imposed a truce. All have sworn to it. All observe it. No warrior is permitted to carry arms here. Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good, then we can take our pick without fighting! Shan: You do not understand, Temujin. A truce was signed! Temujin, later Genghis Khan: I did not sign it, the slaves did not sign it. Geen: But...! Temujin, later Genghis Khan: [Interrupts] Will there be women among the slaves? Geen: Yes, lord... Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good. My men have horses and weapons, but no women. How long do you think they will stay without women? [At Shan] Temujin, later Genghis Khan: How long will you? [Shan smirks] See more » |
