Starring Peter O’Toole as British officer T. E. Lawrence, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) earned a place for the real-life historical figure on AFI’s list of cinema’s greatest heroes of all time. An epic achievement, the film was directed by AFI Life Achievement honoree David Lean, earning inclusion on both of the Institute’s vaunted lists of the greatest American films – the original and the 10th anniversary edition – as well as among the art form’s great thrills, triumphs and film scores.
