    A breathtakingly photographed, epic western like none produced for decades, HIDALGO recounts the life of legend Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen). Set in the 1800s, this family film chronicles the triumphant victory won by Frank and his mustang Hidalgo in the Ocean of Fire, an often-fatal competition in which the best riders and thoroughbreds race across Middle Eastern deserts. For Frank, who is known in the west for his prowess as a Pony Express rider and the winner of long-distance horse races, the lure of the Ocean of Fire is not only the $100,000 purse but also the clear challenge--both of which prove irresistible, and inspire him to travel across the world for this life-altering experience.With sweeping landscapes that evoke John Ford westerns like STAGECOACH and THE SEARCHERS, HIDALGO features enough racing, rivalry, and romance to befit any action film. But the race also provides a vehicle for the story of Frank forgiving himself for his participation in the Wounded Knee slaughter and accepting his part-Indian ancestry. The film`s message, highlighted in a particularly moving scene where Frank invokes the spirits of his Native American ancestors, is that the key to happiness is accepting yourself as you are.

cactuswren from Texas, Sep 14, 2006

Wow! I had never heard of this movie until a friend of mine mentioned something about it. It is a gem! $5/certified copy, also, is the way to go! Recieved the product quickly and in perfect condition.

cece22 from Michigan, Sep 5, 2006

Really loved this movie. It had it all for everyone in the family. Adventure, beautiful photography, relationships (especially between a man and his horse) lots of action and the fact that it was based on a true story just added to the mix. I would recommend this movie highly.
