The Dune story

A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

Adapted from Frank Herbert’s Hugo Award-winning novel and produced by Legendary Entertainment, DUNE and DUNE: PART TWO have earned eight Academy Awards® and continue to captivate global audiences with their visionary storytelling and cinematic excellence.
