Offering visual spectacle and bloody battles, this Mongolian-language film directed by Sergei Bodrov is an old-fashioned epic about central Asian ruler Genghis Khan. The story takes place in 1172-1206 when the main character was not yet known as Genghis Khan, and here is still called Temudgin (played as an adult by Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano). The movie follows Temudgin from age nine to 43, by which time he has united the Mongol tribes and is poised to begin his conquest of a vast territory. The filmmakers intend this movie to be the first in a trilogy. Selected DVD Special Features:
