“Dune” (2021)
“Dune” (2021) is an epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, based on Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel of the same name. The film is a visually stunning and ambitious adaptation that captures the grandeur and complexity of Herbert’s universe. It is the first part of a planned two-part adaptation, focusing on the first half of the novel.
Set in the distant future, “Dune” follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), the young heir to House Atreides, as his family is thrust into a deadly political conflict over the desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune. 
Arrakis is the only source of “spice,” a valuable substance that extends life and enhances mental abilities, making it the most coveted resource in the universe.
After being assigned control of Arrakis by the Emperor, the Atreides family faces betrayal and warfare, forcing Paul to confront his destiny and the mysteries of Arrakis, including its native inhabitants, the Fremen.
