Hidalgo
The Middle East meets the Wild West in this rousing actioner, loosely based on the life of 19th-century American cowboy Frank T. Hopkins. When he's invited to participate in the Ocean of Fire, a 3,000-mile horse race through the Arabian desert, the down-and-out Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) and his mustang, Hidalgo, find themselves competing for a $10,000 prize against some of the world's finest horses and most accomplished riders. Trivia note: Mortensen felt such affinity for his horse 'Hidalgo' that when filming finished he purchased him from the owners.
