Every once in a while a film comes along which is so momentous that it’s more than a movie, it’s a cinematic event of historic proportions.
GENGHIS KHAN is a two hours film and an extensive Epic TV-series directed by Ken Annakin (“The Longest Day”; “Battle of the Bulge”), shot in the magnificent places where the dramatic events took place: Mongolia, China and Central Asia. The stunning vistas are a backdrop for the breathtaking war scenes and stunning horsemanship.
GENGHIS KHAN based on the true story of the Great warrior with a cast of thousands is a cinematic spectacle. With Charlton Heston (“El Cid”, “Ben Hur”,“The Ten Commandments”) and Pat Morita (“Karate Kid I, II, III”) in principle roles also starring Richard Tyson (“Two moons Junction”; “Kindergarten Cop”), Julia Nixon (“Rambo-First Blood Part II), Rodney A. Grant ( “Dances with Wolves”).
GENGHIS KHAN is really the story of a giant, a man of vision who was a legend in his own lifetime and built an empire more vast than any the world has ever known, encompassing Eastern Europe, China, Tibet, Pakistan, Northern India, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and parts of Korea and Vietnam.
Just as his life and extraordinary achievements amazed the people of his day, so too will this film thrill and astound audiences around the world today.
