(David Lynch, US 1984, 140 min.)

After his success with The Elephant Man, director Lynch applied his talents to another commercial project: bringing to life the dark, futuristic universe of the bestselling science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. The complex plot revolves around the son of the ruling house of Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan) who attempts to save the desert planet Arakis, the only source of a life-giving spice.
