El Cid
Anthony Mann masterfully directs this classic tale of the 11th-century hero El Cid (Charlton Heston), who fought to unite Spain and drive out 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 exiled hero to legendary martyr. Unequaled in scope, grandeur and adventure, "El Cid" co-stars Sophia Loren, Raf Vallone and Genevieve Page.
