MONGOL

Summer Film's biggest hit returns! Award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in this Oscar nominated Best Foreign Film. Based on leading scholarly accounts, his stunning historical epic delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows him from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the future conqueror is revealed not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. Masterfully blending action and emotion against some of the most arresting terrain on earth, Bodrov delivers an exciting and awe-inspiring tale of survival and triumph, and a love story for the ages. 124min R
