A world beyond your experience! Beyond your imagination!
Long considered unadaptable, Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi masterwork finally made it to the big screen under the visionary guidance of David Lynch. Though heavily hampered by studio interference, Lynch’s Dune stands as a truly unique creation—a glorious failure, a vibrant auteur piece, and an undeniable cult classic. Featuring iconic giant worms crafted by E.T. creator Carlo Rambaldi, a sweeping synth score by Grammy winners Toto, stunning cinematography by Oscar winner Freddie Francis, and a memorable turn by rock legend Sting, it remains a cinematic trip like no other.
In the year 10,191, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. Yet, it exists on only one planet in the entire universe: the vast, unforgiving desert world of Arrakis, also known as Dune. Its native inhabitants, the Fremen, have long awaited a prophecy—the arrival of a messiah who will lead them to true freedom.
Celebrate the singular legacy of David Lynch by experiencing his legendary sci-fi epic back on the big screen, ahead of the theatrical release of Dune: Part Three.
