Dune ★★ 1984 (PG-13) Lynch sci-fi opus based on the Frank Herbert novel boasting great set design, muddled scripting, and a good cast.

Paul, the heir of the Atreides family, leads the Freemen in a revolt against the evil Harkhonens who have violently seized control of Arrakis, also known as Dune, the desert planet.
