Emperor Shaddam IV grants the Duke of Atreides the desert planet of Arrakis, known as the Dune. Arrakis was the only producer of the immortality drug Melange, and it was also a planet that brought enormous wealth to its rulers. However, what awaited the Duke upon his arrival on Arrakis was the betrayal of his friends by the emperor and an attack by the Sardaukar army of his enemies, the Harkonnen family. In the confusion caused by the battle, the Duke committed suicide, but his son Paul escaped into the vast desert. Later, Paul blends in with the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, and by clearing their rituals, he gains abilities powerful enough to become a savior. He then challenges the Emperor and Baron Harkonnen to a final battle... *Deca subtitles adopted.
