EL CID

One of the most spectacular mega-productions ever made, El Cid stars Academy Award® winners Charlton Heston (Ben Hur) and Sophia Loren (Nine) in two of their legendary performances. Anthony Mann masterfully directs this classic tale of the 11th-century hero El Cid (Charlton Heston) 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. Unequaled in scope, grandeur and adventure, El Cid is an essential part of any film lover's collection.
