Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren star in one of the most successful and spectacular epics ever made.
Set in Spain in the 11th Century, the drama focuses on an uneasy truce between the Christians and the Moors. One of the most powerful Moorish Emirs, Mountamin, honours a brave knight Rodrgo Díaz de Bivar (Charlton Heston), with the title El Cid – “The Lord”.
Rodrigo lives up to his title – he is a noble warrior with the wisdom to be just and merciful. His intended wife is the proud beauty Chimene (Sophia Loren), whose father is killed by El Cid. She is sworn to avenge his death.
‘El Cid‘ is one of the finest big budget films ever made and boasts some of the most spectacular action sequences ever filmed. Amongst epics… ‘El Cid‘ towers above them all.
