Hidalgo (2004)

 

An Interesting Story

Viggo Mortensen is Frank Hopkins; a man with a horse, Hidalgo, who is as smart as he is. Hopkins worked for Buffalo Bill Cody  in his traveling show. Sheikh Riyadh (Omar Sharif) invites Hopkins to race his mustang against 100 Arabian horses. Hopkins accepts and is off on an adventure in a highly dangerous race across the dry, scorching desert. The sheik's nephew lays traps, the desert is a trap itself & most of the riders do not believe that Frank should be there. Will Hopkins win or will one of the other riders ?

Great performances by all in this epic biographical tale of the real life Frank Hopkins. If this story is true, then what an amazing story he had to tell.

Good movie, I liked it.

8/10
