Story Synopsis:
Based on Frank Herbert’s legendary bestseller, Dune is the story of a mythic power struggle in a universe on the brink of chaos. The battle for control of a spice called “melange”—which expands consciousness, extends life and facilitates space travel—is pitted between two houses, the noble Atreides and the evil Harkonnens. The sole source of this substance is the desert planet Arrakis, a.k.a. Dune, where proud dwellers known as Fremen are subjugated and forced to mine the spice by the evil house of Harkonnen. But when the Atreides royal mistress, gives birth to a son—the prophesised ruler of Dune (Kyle MacLachlan)—the balance of power undergoes drastic change.
