Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is sent to Arabia to find Prince Faisal (Alec Guinness) and serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks.

        A masterwork. The scene walking in the desert left me breathless. Highly recommended.

        Classic film. As long as you can get past the insanely long run time (it's close to 4 hours I believe), you'll really enjoy this movie.

        A splendorous epic restored to near perfection, running now for almost four hours of magnificent visuals and fantastic dialogue, and it offers us both O'Toole and Sharif in superb performances - especially the former as a complex, contradictory man in a journey from eccentric soldier to mad exhibitionist.

        The movie has you from the moment that you see the vistas of sand across the horizon. Lean is a master of the big film. While ordinarily I don't enjoy the "white man leads dark men" type of picture, O'Toole is magnificent enough to make you forget about such trivia.
