Threat advisory: High - High risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Baron Harkonnen (Ian McNeice) hands Arrakis to his brutal nephew, Rabban (László I Kish), who immediately tries to establish order with an iron fist. Everyone believes that Jessica (Saskia Reeves) and Paul (Alec Newman) are dead - but they survived in the desert and are given asylum by the fremen. Paul, through his natural authority and special mental powers, soon establishes himself as the Fremen leader Muad'dib. He learns how to survive on Arrakis, while the permanent contact with spice strengthens his powers. For the Fremen, it becomes clear that Paul is the man their legends promised would come to free them from oppression. Paul is struggling to come to terms with what fate seems to have in store for him. Meanwhile, the emperor's daughter, Princess Irulan (Julie Cox), learns that her very own father backed Baron Harkonnen when he attacked Duke Leto.
