El Cid

One of the most spectacular Hollywood films ever made, EL CID stars Academy Award winners Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren in two of their most legendary performances.

Anthony Mann masterfully directs this classic tale of the 11th-century hero El Cid who fought to unite Spain and drive out the Moorish invaders. Known as history's 'compassionate warrior', the film follows El Cid's remarkable journey from peace-broker accused of treason to the King's fighting champion, and later from exiled hero to legendary martyr.

Nominated for several Academy Awards (including Best Art Direction) and several Golden Globes (including Best Motion Picture - Drama).
