Synopsis

In his first movie after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Viggo Mortensen plays Frank T. Hopkins, a cowboy and dispatch rider for the US cavalry who had once been billed as the greatest rider the West had ever known. A wealthy Sheik puts this claim to the test, pitting the American cowboy and his mustang, Hidalgo, against the world's greatest Arabian horses and Bedouin riders in a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian Desert.

Hidalgo is an epic action-adventure about one man's journey of personal redemption based on the true story of the greatest long-distance horse race ever run.
