Based on a true story, this astounding tale of personal triumph will take your breath away on Blu-ray(TM) High Definition!

    It's a good movie on the history of a fantastic breed of horse. One that I am lucky enough to have a descendant of. My mustang comes from the very herd management area that Hidalgo's bloodlines are.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining mix of Indiana Jones and Seabiscuit
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2005

    In his film "Hidalgo," Viggo Mortensen makes a solid follow-up to his star-making turn in the Lord of the Ring trilogy. While not as epic as his most recent work, the movie is an entertaining adventure for both horse and action enthusiasts.

    "Hildago" is based on the autobiography of distance rider Frank T. Hopkins (Mortensen) and his mustang, Hidalgo.

    Hopkins made a name for himself in the late 1800s as the best long distance rider/dispatch. But after a tragedy that he helped cause in his last courier mission, Hopkins spends his time drinking his life away while performing in a traveling Western show.

    Representatives of Sheikh Riyah (Omar Sharif "The 13th Warrior") attend Hopkins' latest show and invite him to participate in the annual Ocean of Fire, a 3,000-mile survival race across the Arabian Desert.

    The race is exclusive to royal Arabian families, but Sheikh makes an exception because he has issues with Hopkins' claim that Hidalgo is the world's fastest horse.

    Hopkins' participation in the race doesn't sit well with many of the competitors, who don't believe that an American will be able to survive the contest and in some cases, actively plot to stop him from finishing the race.

    Mortensen makes for a great leading man. This role is a smart follow-up for him, as it isn't a major deviation from his Lord of the Rings role, yet it is different enough to prove that he won't get typecast as his Lord of the Rings character Aragorn.

    His Hopkins is likable, and like any great character, has a demon that he has to fight outside of the elements and the other riders - his past and his true heritage.

    With so much of the film consisting of a race, Mortensen doesn't really have that many people outside of his horse to interact with for large portions of the film. Fortunately, Hidalgo actually has some charisma to him, so Mortensen doesn't carry the load all by himself.

    When the supporting characters do make their appearances, they are fairly interesting, particularly Louise Lombard ("Claim"), who plays Lady Anne Davenport, the black widow-esque character who wants to do a little more than discuss horse breeding with Hopkins.

    Breaking from most film stereotypes, Sharif's Sheikh doesn't spout off a bunch of hokey Middle Eastern sayings.

    Surprisingly, the film's best scenes occur when Hopkins is off Hildago and operating more as an Indiana Jones-type character -- rescuing Sheikh's daughter, assisting his fellow riders and showing off his gun tricks while battling sword-wielding Arabians -- than as horse rider extraordinaire. It's in these scenes that the film gets really interesting and serves as a nice break from the horse racing.

    At 2 hours and 25 minutes, Hildago's a bit too long for its own good as Director Joe Johnston attempts to make the film more than it really is -- which is the story of a man and his horse trying to complete a race. There are only so many times that the audience can watch Hopkins battle fatigue, the elements and his fellow riders before it loses some of its emotional impact on the viewer.

    Johnston wants to convey just how much Hopkins and Hidalgo have to face in completing the race, but he has gotten too attached to what he's filmed. A little bit of editing would have done wonders for the pace and intensity of the film's truly dramatic moments, such as the sandstorm scene.

    Still, it's hard to argue with Johnston's fascination with his subject matter, as the concept of a man and his horse racing across the Arabian Desert does indeed make for a unique plot.

    With a nice mix of "Indiana Jones" and "Seabiscuit," "Hidalgo" easily stands out as one of 2004'a best adventure films. It's an ideal film for anyone looking for their next fix of Mortensen, who proves that he has a future in Hollywood beyond Lord of the Rings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An epic race
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015

    Clocking in at over two hours’ runtime, this is an exciting (if somewhat slow to start) story about a man, a horse, a clash of cultures, and a race without equal in venerability, distance, and peril. In 1890, Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen)—who’s half Sioux, although he doesn’t look it—is only 25, but already has the reputation of being the greatest endurance-race rider in the world. His mount is Hidalgo, a beautiful brown-and-white overo pinto mustang whom he calls “Little Brother.” When he unwittingly carries the dispatch that results in the massacre of unoffensive Sioux at Wounded Knee, he flees to the East—and a bottle—to escape his horror and guilt. Months later, having joined Buffalo Bill Cody’s (J. K. Simmons) Wild West, he’s approached by one Aziz (Adam Alexi-Malle), a representative of a Bedouin sheik who is “insulted” at Frank’s title. The Bedouins, it seems, have for several centuries been holding an annual endurance race of their own—3000 miles from Aden to Damascus, across a burning desert called the Ocean of Fire. Only if Frank can compete in this contest, and win, says Aziz, will he legitimately be able to call himself “the greatest.” Frank isn’t interested at first, but when he learns that the Army is rounding up Sioux horses with intent to slaughter them—but will surrender them to anyone able to pay an inflated price—and that the winner of the race will walk away with $100,000 in American money, he changes his mind, especially after Annie Oakley (Elizabeth Berridge) spearheads a fund drive among the performers that provides him with the entry fee.

    Reaching Aden, Frank meets Sheikh Riyadh (Omar Sharif), who turns out to be fascinated by the Wild West (we once find him deeply engrossed in a dime novel), and is provided with a staff of sorts—an old goatherder named Yusef (Harsh Nayyar) and a black slave boy (Franky Mwangi). He finds, too, that he’s not the only European who’s entered the race, though he’s the only one who’ll be riding in it: Englishwoman Lady Anne Davenport (Louise Lombard) has entered her purebred Arabian mare, hoping to win permission to breed the animal to Riyadh’s best stud, also an entrant. In the gruelling days that follow, Frank will face a killer dust storm (impressive special effects by George Lucas’s ILM), a plague of locusts that wipes out “any forage up ahead,” a bandit raider (Adoni Maropis) from whom he must help rescue Riyadh’s daughter Jazira (Zuleikha Robinson), quicksands, and the underhanded maneuverings of Lady Anne. In the end he finds his true strength and identity and proves what he and Hidalgo are made of.

    Hidalgo himself is as much the star of the movie as Mortensen—a beautiful horse (almost certainly *not* a purebred mustang) and both clever and splendidly trained. Though Frank finds much in the Bedouin culture that he can neither understand nor approve—their treatment of their women, their fixation on the purity of their horses’ blood—he sees too that in some ways they are very much like the Sioux, and he and Riyadh forge a real friendship. Sometimes violent but always exciting and full of desert pageantry, this is one of my favorite movies.

    📖 Handlung & Thema
    1890, USA & Arabien – Der erfahrene Langstreckenreiter Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) und sein Mustang Hidalgo sind ein unzertrennliches Team. Hopkins erhält die Einladung, beim legendären „Ocean of Fire“, einem 3000 Meilen langen Rennen durch die arabische Wüste, gegen die besten Reiter und edelsten Vollbluthengste der Welt anzutreten. Ein ungleicher Kampf zwischen einem kleinen Wildpferd aus Amerika und den Stolz der arabischen Elite beginnt! Doch während Hopkins gegen Sandstürme, Verrat, Heuschreckenschwärme und unerbittliche Konkurrenz kämpft, muss er auch seine eigene Vergangenheit bewältigen und sich selbst neu finden.
