The Hills Have Eyes II -- The Yuma Flats Training and Testing Facility in New Mexico is big. Sixteen hundred square miles of forbidding desert and mountains used by the U.S. military to test everything from weapons to men. It?s there that our central characters, National Guard soldiers barely halfway through their basic training, are given a routine mission that will change their lives forever.

Hidalgo -- A man enters a long-distance race across the Arabian Desert.

In a dramatic showdown, Lenny, Eddie and Stacy face the biggest challenge of their high school careers. Not only are they fighting to overcome a gang of heartless killers, but to stop the launch sequence on a nuclear missile that, if fired, will ring the bell on high school forever.

Based on the true story of the greatest long-distance horse race ever run, "Hidalgo" is an epic action-adventure and one man's journey of personal redemption. Held yearly for centuries, The Ocean of Fire -- a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian desert -- was a challenge restricted to the finest Arabian horses ever bred, the purest and noblest lines, owned by the greatest royal families. In 1890, a wealthy sheik invited an American and his horse to enter the race for the first time. Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) was a cowboy and dispatch rider for the us cavalry who had once been billed as the greatest rider the west had ever known. The sheik (Omar Sharif) would put this claim to the test, pitting the American cowboy and his mustang, Hidalgo, against the world's greatest Arabian horses and Bedouin riders- some of whom were determined to prevent the foreigner from finishing the race. For Frank, the ocean of fire becomes not only a matter of pride and honor, but a race for his very survival as he and his horse, Hidalgo, attempt the impossible.
