Movie poster for Hidalgo
Hidalgo is a 2004 film based on the lives of former horse rider Frank Hopkins and his endurance horse Hidalgo, a mustang. The story involves a 3000 mile race of the fastest endurance horses in the world through the deserts of Arabia in the 1890s.
The movie was written by John Fusco and directed by Joe Johnston. It stars Viggo Mortensen, Zuleikha Robinson and Omar Sharif.
The events on which the movie were based are disputed by some as nothing more than tall tales. [1] (http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=499665) Others view them to be slightly exaggerated true stories [2] (http://www.frankhopkins.com).
