Plot Outline:
A
breathtakingly photographed, epic western like none produced for decades,
"Hidalgo" recounts the life of legend Frank T. Hopkins. 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.
