The untold story of Genghis Khan

2007 Oscar Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film

From award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (PRISONER OF THE CAUCASUS) comes a stunning historical epic of the life and legend of Genghis Khan. In twelfth-century Mongolia, nine-year-old Temudgin, who will grow up to become the warrior known as Genghis Khan, must flee his home shortly after choosing the spirited Borte as his bride when his father is murdered and a rival seizes power. With the help of his blood brother, tribal prince Jamukha, the adult Temudgin battles his rivals and works to unite the region's warring clans under his authority.
