David Lean's masterpiece, perhaps the greatest epic of the screen, stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debut in the history of cinema. The film is less an adventure than a common experience that leaves an overwhelming sense memory of the struggle between two powerful forces: the Arabian deserts, immense, intractable, ever-changing, punish and TE Lawrence, humble as a monk, as a flamboyant rock star, protein, polymathic, heroic, enigmatic, crazy. While working on the staff of British intelligence in Cairo in 1916, Lawrence of fluency in Arabic earns him a seat on a mission to establish contact with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), leader of the Arab revolt and ally of the British Against the German - sponsored Turks in the First World War. Lawrence impressed by the knowledge of their culture, the prince allows young people to join his staff officer, and Lawrence quickly earns the Arabs' respect after he executes acts of extraordinary heroism

As the English genius for guerrilla warfare becomes evident, that assumes the role of de facto leader of the Arab revolt, uniting the hitherto warring tribes into a devastating weapon effectively. But the chaos of war also triggers the repression of the powerful official of the need for self-humiliation and mortification of the flesh. A visionary work that deploys an indelible image after another, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA fuses the conflict of man against man, man against nature, and man against himself into a sublime poem of force. The film features a literate script by Robert Bolt and an excellent cast, which also includes Claude Rains, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, José Ferrer, Omar Sharif and his unforgettable in the desert-crossing debut
