Additional InformationDavid Lean's masterpiece--perhaps the greatest of screen epics--stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debuts in film history. The film is less an ordinary adventure than an experience that leaves an overwhelming sense of the struggle between two powerful forces: the Arabian deserts, immense, intractable, ever-shifting, punishing; and T.E. Lawrence, humble as a monk, flamboyant as a rock star, protean, polymathic, heroic, enigmatic, mad. While working on the staff of British Intelligence in Cairo in 1916, Lawrence's fluency in Arabic earns him a post on a mission sent to establish contact with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), leader of the Arab revolt and ally of the British against the German-sponsored Turks in WWI. Impressed by Lawrence's knowledge of their culture, the prince allows the young officer to join his staff, and Lawrence quickly earns the Arabs' respect after he executes acts of extraordinary heroism. As the Englishman's genius for guerrilla warfare becomes evident, he assumes the role of de facto leader of the Arab revolt, uniting the heretofore warring tribes into a devastatingly effective weapon. But the chaos of war also unleashes the repressed officer's powerful need for self-abasement and mortification of the flesh. A visionary work that unfolds one indelible image after another, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA fuses the conflict of man against man, man against nature, and man against himself into a sublime poem of force. The film features a literate script by Robert Bolt and an outstanding cast, which also includes Claude Rains, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, Jose Ferrer, and Omar Sharif in his unforgettable desert-crossing debut.

  • A timeless classic

    A classic movie that I have watched many times and it doesn’t lose its appeal after 60 years since its release. Peter O’Toole portrayed TE Lawrence like no other actor at that time could have. I’ll watch it over and over again in the years ahead. A must to be watched by young and old.

  • One of the best films of all time it was a big influence on Steven Spealberg when he made Star wars.

    I first saw this film in Australia when I was "23yrs old it was a great film I had also served my National Service in Egypt a few years before so I was familiar with the middle east and the desert and the Suez canal I bought this mainly for this reason Thank You

    Brilliant. I have just visited Jordan and seen Wadi Rum, the train in the film and the desert castles, so it is very relevant.

  • O’Toole was never bettwr

    Brilliant just brilliant... An epic in every sense but it never drags... while Peter O’Toole is the star the whole cast is on top form... the desert locations were where Lawrence was in 1916-18.... highly recommended
