But no sooner are the young lovers together than they are torn apart by mysterious men arriving on horseback who kidnap many of the Yagahl including Evolet for slave trade. Determined to save his love and their people D'Leh embarks on a rescue mission with his father figure Tic'Tic Cliff Curtis. Along the way they encounter different lands new people and strange creatures including giant birds akin to a killer ostrich. Mixing history and fantasy there is little if anything that is historically accurate in this film. Rather Emmerich weaves together myths and legends to unite people from different lands into one force and bring down a great evil that threatens all of their civilizations. Emmerich also tackles multiple universal themes: the redemption of an outsider the coming of age of a boy who becomes a leader the importance of loyalty and the discovery and understanding of new cultures. Ultimately he tackles the age-old saga of star-crossed lovers and the power of love. Omar Sharif narrates this love story that spans mountains valleys deserts and rivers.
