Don't despise a weak cub, it can appear the son of a tiger.

Award-winning filmmaker Sergei Bodrov illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in his stunning epic, Mongol. Based on leading historical accounts and a nominee for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2008 Academy Awards, Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of legend, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. Masterfully blending action and emotion against some of the most arresting terrain on earth, Mongol delivers an exciting and awe-inspiring tale of survival and triumph, and a love story for the ages.
